Boilerplate for a Koa backend and a frontend built using component with emphasis on using light-weight dependencies.

The project incorporates following "features":

• LiveReload via koa-livereload and LiveReload server via tiny-lr and watch
• Automatic component client build via component-koa when in development env (works well with LiveReload)
• Automatic Koa reloading on server-side changes via node-supervisor

Server includes following examples:

• Development environment with LiveReload and automatic reload on backend changes
• Routing via koa-route
• A * style server that always serves the client side code when no other files/endpoints are hit (used for client side routing without fragments)
• Tests using mocha

Client includes following examples:

• A component consisting purely of CSS (by coincidence, purecss)
• Routing and "page module loading" via page.js
• Including templates via domify
• Template/view /w bindings via reactive

Inspired by and in part adapted from projects such as boilerplate-koa, component.io and others.
