create-nteract-app

Create an nteractive application backed by next.js, mybinder and react with zero configuration.

Installation

Install create-nteract-app globally

npm i -g create-nteract-app

Getting Started

Create an nteract app and run the development server.

create-nteract-app myApp
cd myApp
yarn dev

Now, navigate to http://localhost:3000/ and you should see the following:

Batteries included :battery:

An app bootstrapped with create-nteract-app comes with:

• @nteract components for interactive computing apps/pages
• automatic webpack and babel configuration through next.js
• live hot reloading
• mdx
• every .js or .md file in ./pages becomes a route that gets automatically processed and rendered!

This means you can write your app in js, markdown or even both! :smile:

Your new nteract app will have the following strucure,

.
├── __tests__
│   └── index-spec.js
├── components
│   ├── code-state.js
│   └── presentation-cell.js
├── next.config.js
├── package.json
├── pages
│   ├── _document.js
│   └── index.js
├── scripts
│   └── test-setup.js
└── yarn.lock

Commands :robot:

1. yarn dev

   This will start the next.js server on port 3000 by default. Note, to change the port, run yarn dev -p YOUR_PORT

2. yarn test

   This will kick off the Jest test suite. By default, we have included a snapshot test.

3. yarn build

   This will produce an optimize set of code for production.

4. yarn start

   This will run your optimized app on port 3000.

5. yarn export

   This will export your code as a static HTML app.
