Minimal Elder.js Template Project

This is a minimal project template for Elder.js apps.

If you are new you should start with the full template: https://github.com/elderjs/template

For reference:

• Elder.js source is here: https://github.com/elderjs/elderjs
• Elder.js Docs are on ElderGuide.com

Get started

To create a new project based on this template using degit:

npx degit Elderjs/minimal elderjs-minimial
cd elderjs-minimial

Install the dependencies:

npm install # or just yarn

Start Project:

npm start

Navigate to localhost:3000. You should see your app running.

Development:

For development, we recommend running two separate terminals. One for the server and the other for rollup.

Terminal 1

npm run dev:server # `npm start` above starts a server, but doesn't rebuild your Svelte components on change.

Terminal 2

npm run dev:rollup # This rebuilds your svelte components on change.

Once you have these two terminals open, edit a component file in src, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.

To Build HTML:

npm run build

This will build all of your html into the /public/ folder.

What to Expect

• Nodemon is watching your files for changes. It will restart when it needs to.
• Rollup is watching your files for changes. It will restart when it needs to.
• If your elder.config.js has @elderjs/plugin-browser-reload': {} in it's plugins, your browser will automatically restart after the server restarts.
