If you don't have Browserify, Watchify, or Babel already installed globally, first do the following:
$ npm install -g browserify
$ npm install -g watchify
$ npm install -g babel
Then clone this repo and run the following commands:
$ npm install
$ npm run watch
If you already have those 3 above installed, just "npm install" and "npm run watch", and you are ready to go!
Once the above set up has been completed, just open the index.html in your browser, and if you see the message below, everything is working correctly.
This is my own React dev starter kit :)
The application code is in app.jsx and the CSS is in the style.css file. These are both in the src directory. The app code you write will be "auto transpiled" on file save. Refresh the browser to see your changes.
I tried to keep this dev playground relatively simple, as far as build automation tools go, and without getting into a full-stack app set up. This starter kit is more so you can start building out small components right away.
Go forth and build :)
