Pastie.org used to be the go-to for pasting snippets of code / text. Now that it's down, we'd like to build our own app.
A boilerplate starter project that includes Node, Express, Browserify, and Mithril:
- Minimal - Understand everything.
- Efficient - Great defaults for development and production.
- Rapid - Get started immediately.
$ git clone https://github.com/HackerPaste/HackerPaste my-project
$ cd my-project
$ npm install
# Setup databases
$ createdb hackerpaste_dev
$ npm run migrate
$ createdb hackerpaste_test
$ NODE_ENV=test npm run migrate
$ npm start
Now visit localhost:4000
There is a basic test framework in your test/ folder. To run the tests, simply run npm test.
Check the wiki for snippets to jump-start your app, including:
- Support for SASS and Babel
- How to set up React.js
- Express cookie sessions
- Postgres and knex.js
- A functional-programming-based "ORM" pattern for your database models
The most notable part of this app is browserify-middleware. Great node packages are exceedingly rare – this is one of those packages.
