Generate a RedwoodJS Project

#redwoodjs #react #yarn

Watch "Generate a Redwood Project" on egghead.io.

First, you need to make sure your Node version is > 12. We're going to run yarn create redwood-app ./my-redwood-project

Redwood will generate a project for us with this file structure.

Redwood gives you an api/ folder where your prisma GraphQL api will live. web/ is where your web client is generated. The Redwood team named it this way because they plan to support CLI's and other native platforms in a single app.

To run our app, you can write yarn redwood dev. RedwoodJS will start a server on http://localhost:8910.
