Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. In the 'Run your SPA application' section, the example command is given in PowerShell syntax, which is specific to Windows. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, nor are cross-platform shell commands (like Bash) provided. The instructions and tooling otherwise remain platform-neutral, but the command-line examples implicitly prioritize Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide both PowerShell (Windows) and Bash (Linux/macOS) command examples when instructing users to run commands.
  • Explicitly mention that the steps are cross-platform and can be performed on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
  • Replace or supplement 'npm ./index.js' (which is not a standard npm command) with 'node index.js', which works across platforms.
  • Add a note clarifying that the instructions apply to all major operating systems and that no step is Windows-specific.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific command shells unless necessary, and always provide alternatives for other platforms.
