WHAT?!?! a Boilerplate, isn't that like totally 2015

I was trying to use other cli/generators and was coming up against some blockers... many of them try to extract away too much. Next.js makes it hard to create an initializer so that they have a better page building experience. As a result things like redux are VERY hacky to implement by using wrappers. Things like create-react-app are not SSR by default. Also getting styling implemented in these are a serious pain in the tuckus. I wanted to build an app that allows for production quality build with modern standards like graphql by default.

Windows Issues

If you are running into something like the following

C:\projects\universal-express-apollo\node_modules\readdirp\readdirp.js:55
    var api          =  require('./stream-api')();

TypeError: require(...) is not a function
    at readdir (C:\projects\universal-express-apollo\node_modules\readdirp\readdirp.js:55:48)

This is because Chokidar does not seem to work well with Windows Machines. Possible Solutions when reading this GitHub issue Chokidar #312

  • Watch specific files instead of directories (I am not going to do this as I do not have a windows machine and testing this using Appveyor is taking ages)
  • Take this the Chokidar part of the code and trash it
