This generator scripts everything you need to start a JS fullstack project:

• Loopback (nodejs framework) server
• React, React-Redux or Angular4 client from awesome boilerplates
• Ansible provisioning with node 8, nginx, www-data user, postgresql database
• Vagrant configuration
• Shipit deployment script

You need to install:

• Yeoman: npm install -g yo
• VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• Node.js (> 6.x) + Npm (install it with nvm): curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash
• Ansible (version 2)
• Yarn

This generator will ask you to choose between 3 starter-kits (or no client at all).

• React from Create React App starter-kit:

  • A react starter-kit which generates a simple react app!
  • For who ?
    • Those who want to start with a minimalist react application and want to leverage the power of react-scripts to have their webpack config always up-to-date.

• React-Redux from React Boilerplate:

  • A React-Redux starter-kit!
  • For who ?
    • Those who want to start with redux out of the box.

• Angular4 from Angular starter:

  • An Angular 4 starter-kit!
  • For who ?
    • Those who wants Angular!

• Install the package:

npm install -g generator-loopback-ansible

• Create a directory:

mkdir myAwesomeProject && cd myAwesomeProject

• Run the generator in the created directory:

yo loopback-ansible

Then follow the generated documentation installation steps.

• Vault ansible files to be able to commit them.
• Add a choice between Loopback, Express and Sailjs for the backend

At the moment, the xubuntu distrib doesn't support the vagrant synced_folder parameter with xenial OS, please choose trusty option if you are in that case
