Javascripts

The code in this directory is destined to run in a web browser!

The index.js file in this directory is bundled by Webpack. In development, we use webpack-dev-middleware to bundle automatically while running the server. In production, we run webpack --mode production via npm run build.

This file is then referenced in the footer:

<script src="/dist/index.js"></script>

Every other file in this directory is written as a module to be required in index.js. They all have this format:

module.exports = () => {
  // Do some cool browser stuff
  // Note: by the time this runs, the DOM will be ready. :)
}

In development, the bundle will recompile every time a file used by javascripts/index.js is changed. This ensures that you're always getting an up-to-date version of the script.

In production, the bundle is compiled during build-time.
