Description

Starter project template for React app with TypeScript.

Separate Config Files

Refer to https://webpack.js.org/guides/production/#setup. There are three webpack.*.js files in the project setup.

• webpack.config.js - shared config
• webpack.dev.js - development config
• webpack.prod.js - production config

Instead of running the webpack with the --mode for different build config, using multiple webpack config files gives the most flexibility. webpack-merge plugin is used to combine the configurations at build time.

webpack-dev-server

webpack-dev-server hosts the React component root during development.

index.html template file is registered with HtmlWebpackPlugin plugin, which hands off its output to the webpack-dev-server at runtime.
