# preact-starter
> Webpack3 boilerplate for building SPA / PWA / offline front-end apps with :atom_symbol: [Preact](https://github.com/developit/preact)
Using `preact-starter` will kickstart your next application! :100: It is designed to fit the "90% use-case" for those who want to build offline-first web apps (see [features](#features) below).
> :triangular_flag_on_post: **Important:** This is meant for _client-side_ apps only; there is **no support** included for universal / server-side rendering. I plan to release my own SSR kit shortly!
**Please note:** Boilerplate _does not_ incorporate the latest ["css-in-js" or "css modules" technique](https://github.com/MicheleBertoli/css-in-js). Instead, the more traditional approach is taken, wherein `styles` and `scripts` are kept separate. That said, you may **certainly and easily** take that route if desired. :white_check_mark:

:warning: Boilerplate & commands will evolve as my own development process does. :warning:

## Install
```sh
git clone https://github.com/lukeed/preact-starter
cd preact-starter
npm install
npm run build
npm start
```
> :exclamation: **Pro Tip:** Use [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) to install dependencies 3x faster than NPM!
## Features
* Offline Caching (via `serviceWorker`)
* SASS & Autoprefixer
* Asset Versioning (aka "cache-busting")
* ES2015 (ES6) and ES2016 (ES7) support
* Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for all files
* Preact's [Developer Tools](#preact-developer-tools)
* [Lighthouse](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse) certified
## Development
### Commands
Any of the following commands can (and should :wink:) be run from the command line.
> If using [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/), all instances of `npm` can be replaced with `yarn`. :ok_hand:
#### build
```
$ npm run build
```
Compiles all files. Output is sent to the `dist` directory.
#### start
```
$ npm start
```
Runs your application (from the `dist` directory) in the browser.
#### watch
```
$ npm run watch
```
Like [`start`](#start), but will auto-compile & auto-reload the server after any file changes within the `src` directory.
### Preact Developer Tools
You can inspect and modify the state of your Preact UI components at runtime using the [React Developer Tools](https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools) browser extension.
1. Install the [React Developer Tools](https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools) extension
2. [Import the `preact/devtools`](src/index.js#L23) module in your app
3. Reload and go to the 'React' tab in the browser's development tools
