[Deprecated] 🎯 React App Template For Darty Development Environment

🎯 Darty React App

Update (July 2022)

When I started coding this project, I was strongly feeling that webpack isn't a suffient tool for building a modern, production-ready frontend applications.

With Darty, I tried to make frontend development easy and more straight-forward with single declarative manifest file. Even though I used webpack under the hood, Darty was an opinionated frontend development environment and so many complicated configurations are hidden from codebase.

Today I cannot maintain this project anymore as a single contributor. It needs to be rewritten to compete with its current alternatives but it's impossible for me at the moment. However abandoning projects are sad, I'm glad to see my idea is somehow proved with the releases of Snowpack and Vite.

Please check out Vite for a community-supported, well-maintained webpack alternative.

README

Darty is a front-end development system to allow developers to start their projects immediately. By Darty's convention over configuration mindset, webpack and typescript compiler configurations are handled by darty's itself.

Darty React App is a front-end development template for Darty.
