Core Development Work In Progress

Development

Run npm run build and modify the webpack.config.js to take advantage of react hot module reload (react-hmr), for faster front-end development.
At times the generated pages don’t show due to this error in the browser console: locals[0] does not appear to be a 'module' object with Hot Module replacement API enabled. This can happen when the NODE_ENV is blank. To fix the issue, set the NODE_ENV to a non-empty value, then run the build again.
If you want any of the packages to send output to stdout, you can start your server with DEBUG=* node . or you can spell out which packages you want to show debug output, e.g. DEBUG=express*,swagger* node ..
Use nodemon to monitor for any changes in your source and automatically restart your server.
Use Node.js Debugger.
If you are making changes to the code, check for adherence to style guidelines by running npm run lint and npm run jscs.
If you are making any changes to the DB schema, create a migration using node_modules/.bin/sequelize migration:create --name example-name. Note: be sure to wrap your migration code inside a transaction. This ensures that all migration operations are successful before committing changes to the database. This minimizes the possibility of a failed partial migration during release phase.

Package Scripts

Execute any of the scripts in the scripts section of ./package.json by calling npm run [SCRIPTNAME], e.g. npm run test or npm run lint or npm run start.
