npm install flip-box
the builder, of builders.
It allows you to create configs that would take hundreds or thousands of lines, with just a few properties.
#### minimal
``js`
import FlipBox from 'flipbox'
new FlipBox({entry: './src/index.js'}).fullAuto()
#### all the apps
one app? two apps? 100 apps? nodejs server, inferno, react, fusebox, _and_ webpack? existing configs? happy and no happy pack? at the same time? no sweat.
`js`
const FlipBox = require('flipbox')
const apps = [
{
name: 'reacted',
config: './webpack.config.js'
fusebox: true,
},
{
name: 'infernod',
entry: './src/index.js',
presets: ['inferno'],
html: './src/index.html',
},
{
name: 'backend',
entry: './backend/src',
presets: ['node'],
happypack: false,
},
]
module.exports = new FlipBox({apps}).fullAuto()
#### reusability?
`js`
const FlipBox = require('flipbox')
const apps = [
{
name: 'reacted',
presets: ['react', 'entry'],
},
{
name: 'infernod',
presets: ['inferno', 'entry'],
},
]
module.exports = new FlipBox({
apps,
presets: {
front: {
entry: './src/index.js',
html: '#root',
fusebox: true,
},
},
}).fullAuto()
...oh and you can run those configs through webpack just like any other webpack config.
which means you can also change the returned config in the same way.
they are configured for each environment by default
and can be customized for any config you want
[it can build itself with webpack or fusebox, with the flip of an env flag][src-pkg-json]
------------------
#### example
`js.propertyOnApp
flipbox.addMiddlewares({
index: 999, // optional
name: 'propertyOnApp',
inject(app, helpers) {
helpers.log.text('❗ middleware for !')`
return app
},
})

- [todo-middleware][todo-middleware]
- when refactoring, relative imports requires updating all files affected
- manually resolving paths to root
- bloats the code
- adds knowledge about the structure to files that should not need it, such as presentation layer / ui components
- [multiple versions of any npm packages][shrinkwrap]
- [multiple react refs][react-refs-error] when multiple versions of react are loaded
- dependencies have different versions of the same dependency
- servers such as heroku keep caches where there are multiple versions$3
- using aliases, you can force a single version of a dependency
- write your aliases relatively to your home$3

this would make it so if flag are true, it would add the fusebox property to any app that has passed filters and is being built.
