Installation Steps

Clone repo:

git clone https://github.com/jomendez/simple-webpack-boilerplate && cd simple-webpack-boilerplate &&

3. Run npm run dev to open a browser and lunch a local web server with live-reload
4. Run npm run build build for production (./dist folder)
5. Run npm run deploy to deploy your code to your FTP.

If everything went well (npm run dev)...

You browser should open a new tab and you should see something like this:

Quick example

It is recommended to create a new page within the src folder or use the one that comes with the example page.pug to start adding your content.

Then you can go to src/js/app.js file and add the following lines:

const page = require("../page.pug");
document.querySelector('container').innerHTML = page();

The code above is going to transpile the pug file this particular case (but it can be an html file). Then we will insert the content of the page into the container tag on the index.html.
