build-boiler

library1.3.8jsnpmunverified

build-boiler is a build boilerplate tool (v5.2.4) integrating Webpack, Gulp, Eslint, Nunjucks, and BrowserSync for front-end development. It provides a configured environment with hot reload, CSS timestamping, and webpack md5 hashing. The package uses Gulp as its task runner and includes Assemble for templating. However, it is outdated, requires Node 5.x and npm@3, and the latest versions include security fixes for BrowserSync (disabling online mode by default). The project appears to be in maintenance mode with no recent active development.
