# Thriller
Thriller is an easy peasy build system for Node.js micro-services on top of [Rollup](https://github.com/rollup/rollup). Thriller lets you create modern Node.js apps and services with zero config. Thriller handles all the watching, reloading, transpiling, and bundling for you. It comes with a few `healthy` defaults and support for modern JS features. Everything can be customized and you can easily add Thriller to your existing Node.js project with just a single dependency, batteries included. Inspired by backpack, nuxt.js, next.js, and create-react-app
## Features
- Zero-config, one dependency
- Latest ES6 features (module syntax, async/await, object rest spread)
- Live reloading
## How to use
Install it:
```bash
npm i thriller --save
```
Add an npm script to your package.json:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "thriller"
}
}
```
Make sure `src/index.js` is the entry of your app.
Run your application in development mode:
```bash
npm run dev
```
### Custom configuration
For custom advanced behavior, you can create a `thriller.config.js` in the root of your project's directory (next to `package.json`).
```js
module.exports = {
/* config options here */
}
```
### Customizing rollup config
[Example](https://github.com/ezekielchentnik/thriller/examples)
To extend webpack, you can define a function that extends its config via `thriller.config.js`.
```js
// thriller.config.js
module.exports = {
rollup: (config, options, rollup) => {
// Perform customizations to config
// Important: return the modified config
return config
}
}
```
### Customizing babel config
[Example](https://github.com/ezekielchentnik/thriller/examples)
To extend our usage of `babel`, you can define a `.babelrc` file at the root of your app. This file is optional.
If found, Thriller will consider it to be the `defacto` babel config, it will also need Thriller's preset `thriller/babel`.
Here's an example `.babelrc`:
```js
{
"presets": [
"thriller/babel",
"stage-0"
]
}
```
### Building for Production
Add a npm script for the build step:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "thriller",
"build": "thriller build"
}
}
```
Then run the build command and start your app
```bash
npm run build
node ./build/main.js
```
## CLI Commands
### `thriller dev`
Runs thriller in development mode.
Your code will reload if you make edits.
### `thriller build`
Builds the app for production to the `build` folder.
It correctly bundles your production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
You can run your production application with the following command:
```bash
node ./build/main.js
```
Your application is ready to be deployed!
