Command line interface for automating common tasks when building React.js components.

$ npm install -g rackt-cli

The motivation for this CLI is to make it simple to get started when creating a new component, and eliminate the boilerplate that is commonly copy/pasted from one project to another. This CLI provides all config, dev dependencies, and scripts for building, testing, and releasing. There is even a command for generating a new component structure. By leveraging rackt-cli, you are able to focus on writing code.

The init command generates a component structure based on the opinions of this CLI. It provides a basic working component, along with a simple example, and a failing test.

The build command uses webpack, along with babel to transpile your code. This means you are free to use JSX, and ES6 in your source, as it will be transpiled before shipping.

This command will generate two new folders within your component's folder. A dist/ folder contains a UMD version of your project, which is ideal for releasing to bower. A build/ folder will contain a transpiled version of your original source, un-bundled, for releasing to npm.

The server command uses webpack-dev-server to serve your examples in the browser. You may also run npm start as an alias to this command.

The release command runs test, and build command, then updates your CHANGELOG, creates a new tag, and releases to npm.

The test command runs karma, using mocha. It will look for files under lib/ suffixed with -test.js. You can put these files alongside your source, or under sub-folders like __tests__/.

The pages command will deploy your examples to a gh-pages branch.
