farrow

Useful modules for developing farrow app

Setup

Install via npm or yarn

# via npm
npm install --save farrow


# via yarn
yarn add farrow

add scripts to your package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "farrow dev",
    "build": "farrow build",
    "start": "farrow start"
  }
}

and then:

• npm run dev for developing
• npm run build for bundling the source code
• npm run start for running the output code of bundler

farrow assumes that your source code is in src folder, and the output code is in dist folder.

farrow.config.js

farrow.config.js is used to configure the behavior of farrow

Example

// farrow.config.js
const { createFarrowConfig } = require('farrow')

module.exports = createFarrowConfig({
  server: {
    entry: 'index.js',
    src: 'src',
    dist: 'dist',
    // uncomment next-line to debug
    // nodeArgs: ['--inspect-brk']
  },
  // for connecting farrow-api-server and codegen farrow-api-client
  // api: [
  //   {
  //     src: 'http://localhost:3002/api/todo',
  //     dist: `${__dirname}/src/api/todo.ts`,
  //   },
  // ],
})
