Getting Started

Web Applications with node.js and React​

[!NOTE] We maintain additional code and documentations for internal Walmart systems. If you are a Walmart developer, please check internal docs to get started.

Welcome! This is the documentation for building web application using Electrode X for node.js and React.

In this quick start guide, we will show you how to create and run your first app.

Requirements​

  1. Install node.js version 12.x.x or later

    • For Unix or Windows, we recommend a universal node version manager tool for managing node.js installations.
    • If you are using Unix only, then the Unix only nvm tool is a good option.

Creating Your First App​

Note: our packages are published under the npm scope @xarc

  1. To create your first Electrode X app:
npx @xarc/create-app my-app
  1. Wait for this to complete. The console will display the following with some instructions:

  2. When complete, open your browser to http://localhost:3000
