Pixi boilerplate using Webpack and Babel. Partially based off Lapixx/phaser-babel

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Lapixx/pixi-babel.git

Install the (dev)dependencies:

npm install

Static assets are located in the static/ folder, these files are not modified during the build step (merely copied).

JavaScript (ES6) files are located in the src/ folder. They are transpiled with Babel and bundled with Webpack, using index.js as the entry point. The resulting bundle is exported to js/index.js (relative to your static assets)

In this boilerplate, the static/index.html file loads the js/index.js bundle (the build artifact corresponding to src/index.js), which takes care of importing extra dependencies and initialising and starting the main game loop.

Start the development server (with hot reloading enabled):

npm run dev

After the initial build, navigate to localhost:8080.

(Any changes you make to the source code files will automatically trigger a rebuild and reload the page.)

To build the application and optimise for production:

npm run build

This will copy all build artifacts to the dist/ folder.

(You may run into CORS errors when trying to open the dist/index.html file directly. Make sure to serve this folder using a file server instead, or wrap everything inside another framework of your choice for distribution.)
