Development

Clone repository

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/brocoders/extensive-react-boilerplate.git my-app

Install dependencies
```
cd my-app
npm install
```
Run app configuration

You should run this command only the first time on initialization of your project, all next time skip it.

If you want to contribute to the boilerplate, you should NOT run this command. It removes the boilerplate's internal generator tests (the resource and field generators themselves are kept).
```
npm run app:config
```
Copy example environment file
```
cp example.env.local .env.local
```
Run development server
```
npm run dev
```
