Installation

Choose a starter-kit according to your needs

This generator will ask you to choose between 3 starter-kits (or no client at all).

React from Create React App starter-kit:
- A react starter-kit which generates a simple react app!
- For who ?
- Those who want to start with a minimalist react application and want to leverage the power of react-scripts to have their webpack config always up-to-date.
React-Redux from React Boilerplate:
- A React-Redux starter-kit!
- For who ?
  - Those who want to start with redux out of the box.
Angular4 from Angular starter:
- An Angular 4 starter-kit!
- For who ?
- Those who wants Angular!

Install the generator

Install the package:

npm install -g generator-loopback-ansible

Usage

Create a directory:

mkdir myAwesomeProject && cd myAwesomeProject

Run the generator in the created directory:

yo loopback-ansible
```

Then follow the generated documentation installation steps.

What's next ?

Vault ansible files to be able to commit them.
Add a choice between Loopback, Express and Sailjs for the backend

Troubleshooting

At the moment, the xubuntu distrib doesn't support the vagrant synced_folder parameter with xenial OS, please choose trusty option if you are in that case
