I've been planning to setup a simple environment where I can jump start the static website development. I think I won't need to do it now, thanks to this setup 🙌. I'll be trying out soon. One thing I noticed is, there is no environment variables configuration out of the box, of-course we can do that with Webpack config file. I was wondering if that is planned feature. ENV variables config is very well done in Vue CLI 3.0 and later 👌 PS: The 'bug reports' and 'feature request' links are dead in Github!

@theharshin The boilerplate does use the cross-env library and defines a "dev" and "prod" environment. But I'll definitely have a look at Vue CLI to see how I can better improve environment handling! Thanks for catching those broken links 🙏. All fixed 👍

Hello Hunters! I’m Eric the developer of Static Site Boilerplate. Personally I've found (and for many developers I know) when coding a static website I mostly just want to have a clean development environment where I can jump right into writing unimpeded HTML/CSS/JavaScript. I designed Static Site Boilerplate to take care of the necessary tasks and generate all of the features a production-ready static website needs while allowing a workflow of writing pure frontend code. Let me know your thoughts and what you'd like to see coming next! 🙏

I just went to try this boilerplate out and I'm having some issues. I simply cloned, run npm install and then npm start. My changes are not being reflected in the browser even after a refresh. I have to close the local server and reload for the changes to display.

@joshmillgate Hey Josh! I'd love to help you get things up and running. Can you submit an issue on GitHub or shoot me a message with some more details about your setup?

I really love this! I have various versions of a kickstart repo I use, but this works great. Thank you!

Am I wrong or there is no way to use layouts and includes?

@camel_113 Not out of the box. My philosophy for this boilerplate is to impose as few opinions on how you should structure or architect your site as possible. However, the boilerplate is extensible to accommodate any templating language (Pug, Handlebars, etc) or you can accomplish includes with the built-in html-loader.
