CLI Commands

• npm install
  • Installs server-side dependencies from NPM and client-side dependencies from Bower

  • Compiles your files, starts watching files for changes, serves static files to port 9001

  • Builds everything

Minification, uglification and other tasks you're expected to run before deploying your product can be made by running the build command with env variable NODE_ENV set to "production"

NODE_ENV=production npm run build

Development guidelines

• public - directory should be dedicated only to compiled/copied files from src - directory. It should be possible to delete directory completely and after npm start or npm run build everything should be as they were before the deletion.
• All development dependencies should be installed with npm. Browser dependencies should be installed with bower or with npm.
