    No Grunt/Gulp/Broccoli/Cake/Whatever... needed at the time of writing, 
    let's see if we can build the whole seed without them (challenge accepted)

Getting Started

Install slush-jspm-react-seed globally:

$ npm install -g slush-jspm-react-seed

Usage

• Create a new folder for your project:

$ mkdir my-elephant-seed

• Run the generator from within the new folder and download deps after:

$ cd my-elephant-seed
$ slush jspm-react-seed
$ npm run init

Node Commands

Dockerless NodeJS Server with unbundled dependencies using https via Browser-Sync

(includes live reload, Browser-Sync will open the website for you)

$ npm run dev:node

Dockerless NodeJS Server with bundled dependencies using https via Browser-Sync

(includes live reload and source maps)

$ npm run prod:node

Docker Commands

Docker Nginx + Docker NodeJS Server with HTTPS and custom domain

(Observe that is not possible to reload and focus the browser from inside a container, every change you made will be reflected but you will have to manually refresh the website)

$ npm run start:docker
$ open https://docker.nginx.node.com

Run arbitrary command inside the container

$ npm run exec:docker -- echo 'I am inside the container'

Run arbitrary command inside the container (docker natively)

$ docker-compose run --rm node-server /bin/bash -c 'echo "I am inside the container"'

Enter running Docker Node container

$ npm run enter:docker

Docker-compose build

$ npm run build:docker

Stop and clean all instances, images, containers and volumes of this application

$ npm run clean:docker

JSPM Commands

Bundle application dependencies

$ npm run bundle:jspm

Unbundle application dependencies

$ npm run unbundle:jspm

ESlint Commands

$ npm run check:eslint

NodeSass Commands

$ npm run buildcss:nodesass

Deploy in Firebase

You have to login via command line in your OWN account):

$ firebase deploy

Common Pitfalls

• If your connection is slow then sometimes jspm i may have hiccups while doing look ups trying to download dependencies, just wait for it to finish and repeat jspm i few times until it manages to download all dependencies, eventually you may try to slush jspm-react-seed again in a clean folder if the installer gets stuck. You may see messages like this is that situation

     warn It's taking a long time to process the dependencies of npm:[email protected].
          This package may need an ignore property to indicate test or example folders for jspm to skip.

• While using the seed with you preferred CI you may see this error:

     Updating registry cache...
     Looking up github:twbs/bootstrap
     Downloading github:twbs/[email protected]

err  Error downloading github:twbs/bootstrap

     GitHub rate limit reached. To increase the limit use GitHub authentication.
     Run jspm endpoint config github to set this up.

warn Installation changes not saved.

Fear not, here you can see how to overcome the problem, unfortunately the seed can't do that for you: https://github.com/jspm/jspm-cli/blob/master/docs/registries.md

• When eslint finds an error you may see an error message coming from npm, this is normal, just fix the linting error and you won't see it anymore

• No space left on device!, you can solve it deleting this file

$ ls -lah ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/Docker.qcow2

• Not connecting to the Docker container:

ERROR: dial unix /Users/sloppylopez/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/00000003.00000948: connect: connection refused

npm ERR! Darwin 16.7.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "run" "start:docker"

Solve it using :

$ npm run clean:docker
