Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Full-Stack JavaScript
Code Fellows, January 2016
Author: John Hearn

I wanted a set up where I can quickly and easily create a new javascript file, execute it from the terminal, and see some console and/or browser output. This playground has all of my commonly-used modules installed, though you probably won't need a lot of them most of the time.

Getting started: After you fork or clone the repo to your machine, you probably want to

1. install the node modules listed in the package with npm i

2. checkout a new branch with git checkout -b foo
   you'll edit the code in www/js/index.js that allowed you to run your old code, so this way you can always get it back by checking out the correct branch for whatever you were working on before.

3. create a new js file to play with, e.g. touch ./www/js/foo.js or copy one of the templates, such as cp ./templates/module_template.js ./www/js/foo.js

4. blow away whatever is in www/js/index.js include your new js file, and put your code to generate some output here.

5. run your code with either npm start, npm run webstart or npm test as appropriate.
