example-frontend-classic-js

An very basic example frontend for Vega implemented as a classic Node.js web app without any fancy stuff.

The idea is to provide a simple codebase where only basic knowledge to Javascript and HTML is needed to customize and get a journal up and running in no time.

Built on

• Node 6.5
• Express server
• Templating with HTML-like Handlebars
• Styling with PostCSS / PostCSS Next
• Plain Javascript for the browser/client without any bundling and transforms.
• ESLint for code quality control

Advanced users would probably want something like React, Browserify/Webpack, Babel etc, but this example will keep it as simple as possible.

Get going

• npm install
• Edit src/config.js (see src/config-example.js for a template)
• npm run develop to start a development server.
• Go to http://localhost:3000
