Install
Creating an application
To setup a kvell application, you just need to run the following command
npx create-kvell-app example-app
Note: npx comes with npm 5.2+ and higher. If you use npm 5.1 or earlier, you need to install create-kvell-app globally instead:
npm i -g create-kvell-app
Once installed, you can create a kvell application by running:
create-kvell-app example-app
Running the server
Now, you can change your directory to example-app and run the application in development mode by running:
cd example-app
npm start
That's it! This will start your server on http://localhost:5001.
Disable watch mode
The server will by default start with watch mode enabled, i.e, it will restart the server everytime you make a change in a file. To run the server without watch mode, run the server like so,
npm start -- --no-watch
Optional Installation Method
You can also create an application using the npm init script.
npm init kvell-app example-app
