Packages

This repo uses Lerna to manage multiple related packages that are part of the Electrode Core.

App Archetype

electrode-archetype-react-app is a NPM module that provides for common patterns across all app projects so that each app project can standardize on common development behavior and patterns. Its essentially pre-made patterns for build scripts. It also requires a companion module electrode-archetype-react-app-dev that's meant for your app's devDependencies.

Yeoman Generator

The Yeoman generator-electrode NPM module allows you to quickly create an Universal React App with support from the app archetype, and server in Node with Hapi or Express.

Sample Applications

Some sample applications can be found under the samples directory.

Docs

Electrode platform creates and hosts books under docs directory. It contains the full documentation of electrode, generated using GitBook.

See Gitbook Toolchain for more details.
