Getting started

To get started with The Boring JavaScript Stack, use create-sails — a CLI tool that scaffolds a new Sails project, configured as a full-stack JavaScript application with The Boring Stack conventions:

Vue

npx create-sails project-name --vue

React

npx create-sails project-name --react

Svelte

npx create-sails project-name --svelte

INFO

Make sure to replace project-name with the name of your project.

Then cd into your project and run npm i:

cd project-name && npm i

Start your app

To start you app simply run:

npm run dev

sails lift

You can also run your app with npx sails l.

What's next?

For next steps, you have two options:

1. Open your project in your code editor and explore.
2. Begin by learning the basics, such as routing and navigation.
