Before you start, make sure you have a working NodeJS environment, preferably with NPM 3.
From the project folder, execute the following command:
npm install
This will install all required dependencies, including a local version of Webpack that is going to build and bundle the app. There is no need to install Webpack globally.
To run the app execute the following command:
npm run dev
This command starts the Webpack development server that serves the built bundles. You can now browse the skeleton app at http://localhost:3000. Changes in the code will automatically build and reload the app.
Note: when using NPM 2.x, you might encounter a run-time error like '_aureliaPal.DOM.injectStyles is not a function'. To work around this issue, execute the command npm dedupe.
To build a development bundle (output to /build) execute:
npm run build
To build an optimized, minified production bundle (output to /dist) execute:
npm run prod
The production bundle includes all files that are required for deployment.
The aurelia-webpack-plugin has its own configuration options that you may need to set. Please see https://github.com/aurelia/webpack-plugin for more information.
To run the unit tests:
npm run test
Note: The e2e tests aren't working yet
