Getting started example/giter8 template? #1016

Closed jetaggart closed 2 years ago

jetaggart commented 2 years ago

Hello, thank you for building this!

I have my heart set on using scalajs-react, but I'm having a fairly difficult time getting started. There's a plethora of outdated examples/giter8 templates for scalajs, and there's enough complexity I'm not sure if I've stitched things together correctly. Most tutorials (including this one) just say "add these lines to sbt", but for a relative beginner, I'm not even sure how to start a project (do I just do sbt new and do that stuff? is that good enough?). Looking at your examples in the ghpages dir, I see how it works but I have no idea how to extract a working project from that. I've got it running a few times, but by the time I get it going, I'm fairly frustrated and too uncomfortable to continue.

I know this stuff is probably obvious from the inside, so sorry for the ignorant questions/criticism, but the zero to one learning curve is quite steep and as a solo dev, hard to justify.

Either way, thank you for building this project, I know this stuff takes time and is a labor of love. I'm just excited to use it and want to make sure I start off on the right foot! Feel free to close this if it's not productive or helpful.
