React 16.3 + React-Router 4 + Redux + Bootstrap 3 + Hot Reload + redux-devtools-extension + Webpack 4 + styled-components STARTER

React 16.3+ React-Router 4 + Redux + Bootstrap + Webpack 4 with Hot Reload and redux-devtools-extension STARTER

My best React + redux project starter.

• webpack is as simple as possible
• ReactJS is written with optimization tricks (stateless, pure render, PureComponent...).
• pure front-end = server independant (use whatever you want as server: NodeJS, Rails, .NET...)
• SPA but SEO and/or PWA friendly since use of dynamic imports and application snapshot.

Concept behind: same as react-bootstrap-webpack-starter but added Redux and amazing and helpful redux-devtools-extension.

Breaking changes since v6.0.0

• upgrade to React 16.3.x
• upgrade to webpack 4
• upgrade to react-hot-loader v4
• drop CSS Module in favor of styled-components (scoped style, theme support, better scaling in huge applications, simplify toolchain and keep nearly SASS syntax)
• add flow types (even a little typing at least for better dev experience)
• drop prop-types(static and dynamic typing apart, flow type does far more so avoid writing 2 differents typing system)
• workbox-webpack-plugin (service worker caching powerful tool from Google)
• loadable-components (split your code: here splitted just by routes, by you can split a component level if you feel the need)
• react-snaphot (SEO friendly)
• webpack-bundle-analyzer: analyze your bundle size (maybe you should split or lazy load some part of your application: you will see clearly how to fix that)
• drop moment for date-fns (since far smaller size and job's done)
• drop mocha and all library around it for jest (all in one toolset and snapshot testing)

Breaking changes since v5.0.0

• upgrade to React 16.x
• react-router 4+ with react-router-redux ^5.0.0-alpha.8 (read this nice article about migrating from react-router 3 to react-router 4)
• add few flow types (still keep propTypes)
• updated hot reload (read hot reload starter)
• use CSS module (keep coding style with SASS but get benefit of css module for a more peasant and component pattern coding)

Breaking changes since v4.0.0

• upgrade React 15.6.x +
• upgrade to webpack 3
• clean with rimraf before bundles building
• scroll to top on route
• login view
• protected view
• JWT auth. private views
• file organization (views connected to redux are no more in container but are index.js in same directory as View.js)

Breaking changes since v3.0.0

• upgrade to react-router v4

Breaking changes since v2.3.0

• upgrade to webpack 2.x
• upgrade React 15.5.x +
• PropTypes from 'prop-types' (react 15.5 breaking change)

Breaking changes since v2.2.0

• cross-env added so no more particular windows command
• serve dev and prod bundles
• npm run serve-dev: with server hot reload (uses nodemon)
• npm run serve-prod: production like node-express server

Breaking changes since v2.1.0

• whatwg-fetch is now replaced by axios.
• react-addons-shallow-compare is removed since ReactJS 15.4+ PureComponent does the job
• splits vendors script and css from main bundle (extract-text-webpack-plugin v1.x)
• create map file (DEV)
• prepared launch.json for VSCode debugger
• add typescript types (typings)
• add flow types (flow-typed)

Breaking changes since v2.0.0

• redux-devtools is now replaced by redux-devtools-extension.
