node -v
npm -v

Installation

1. Clone this repository :

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Juan-Alvarado/weatherapp-boilerplate.git weather-app
cd weather-app

2. Make it your own :

rm -rf .git && git init && npm init

ℹ️ Command above re-initializes the repo and sets up your NPM project.

rm -r -fo .git
git init 
npm init

3. Install the dependencies :

Before the app can be run you will need to install the react icon library as well. This can be done using:

Development Workflow

1. Generate a production build in ./build :

npm run build

2. Start local production server with serve:

npm start

This simply serves up the contents of ./build. Bear in mind, if you use this, the localhost port your server is running on will refresh, and you'll also need to restart it to see any changes you've made to the code in src.
