Roc

Modern Application Development Ecosystem

Project status is currently WIP proof of concept

Provides a complete ecosystem for developing modern applications.
Sweeps common complexities into easy-to-use packages with extendable APIs.

Composes some great open source tools and make them easy to use with a streamlined CLI and configuration/extension system. Direct your focus to writing great software and away from juggling boilerplate and dependencies. Built on top of the node ecosystem.

Example of tasks handled by extensions

• Building and bundling through Webpack
• Web server through Koa
• First class developer experience
• React (complete with Redux and server side rendering)

Common tasks and boilerplate code does not exist in a Roc application but in extensions making it easier to maintain and update.

Get started

Install Roc

npm install -g roc

Basic web application

mkdir basic && cd basic
roc init web
roc dev

Basic Redux & React application

mkdir redux && cd redux
roc init web-react
roc dev

roc help will provide available actions.
dev starts the application locally in development mode with hot code reloading and Browersync. View your application at http://localhost:3002

Motivation

Roc was born out of the need to create modern applications following the correct conventions and using best practices consistently.
We quickly realized that keeping boilerplate updated within each project over time was unmanageable. It seems natural to have this repeated complexity managed by separated semantically versioned packages.
