Summary

Dev server, typed webpack config, typescript, jsx, babel.

No SASS/SCSS/LESS. No static files. Wiring those in are highly dependent on integration.

Usage

npm install  # install packages

npm run start  # launch + hot reloading + watch file changes http://localhost:3099

npm run build  # build to dist/

Environmental variables

Webpack's environmental variables can be passed (--env):

npm run start -- --env.devServerPort 3082, build + watch at http://localhost:3082

npm run start -- --env.production

npm run start -- --open Launch browser + build + watch files, http://localhost:3099

Weakness of most starters (e.g. create-react-app):

• Opaque: No way to see the innards of what's being built

  Even npm run eject shows tons of macro code that resembles nothing like what a webpack config would look like on a project.

• Labyrinthian: Tons of stuff to remove, overlapping dependencies. Many things of which aren't being used.

  package.json riddled with stuff you don't even know they're for.

  You'll then go out and find starters in github repos to find they add tons of specialized stuff that wouldn't fit your unique integration. You don't want jest, or wouldn't integrate it they way they do.

  Same thing. package.json is like Windows' services.msc - everything sounds important, but you're probably not using half of them.

  You're really not much better off than you were with an ejected create-react-app. It's faster to just start anew and add what you want.

  But a scratch project with webpack and react is actually hard:

  Webpack, ts-loader, babel, webpack-dev-server, so on. There's so many projects to synthesize and all their usages every 3 months. You have to drop by each project, see the minimal example, and hope they fit and you can get a basic build

That's all this is.
