Work in progress!

TODO:

• Improve README.md (this file and the ones inside the templates)
• Audit package.json
• Open-source
• Add Python template (and possibly others!)

A scaffolding script to bootstrap a fullstack duffel app

The script will guide you through setting up a minimal fullstack application with Duffel API. At the end of the script, you will have:

• A ready-to-go client and server that can talk to each other locally
• A Duffel API SDK installed and configured with the provided access token
• A code example demonstrating how to make a simple flight search using the Duffel API SDK

Boilerplate source:

• create-react-app (client side)
• express-generator-typescript (with a lot of simplification)

Getting started

Get the right NodeJS version

If you use nvm, run nvm use. If you use asdf, run asdf install.

Install Yarn

Like all Duffel front-ends, this project uses yarn. If you don't already have it, nstall it globally with npm install --global yarn.

Start developing

yarn dev

This will start a typescript watcher that will regenerate index.js. The scaffold can be run by running node index.js or by linking the package with yarn, just like the following section.

Testing the scaffolded app

Scaffold the sample app by running

# Within the create-duffel-app folder
yarn build && yarn link

# grant permission
chmod +x .yarn/bin/create-duffel-app

# Then on the destination folder
yarn create duffel-app

This will create an app with two folders: client and server

# Within the server folder
yarn start:dev

# On a separate terminal, within the client folder
yarn start

Publishing
