Barebones React App

Just wanted a simple barebones React application boilerplate that:

• Can transpile
  • Specifically because JSX
  • But also so you can use the latest JavaScript features
• Uses sourcemaps
• Uses Hot Module Replacement
• Can build a basic production dist/ output for easy deployment
• Doesn't have a bunch of unnecessary dependencies

Required Software

• npm version 6.4.1 or above
• node version 10.13.0 or above

Getting Started

1. npm install - to install the dependencies
2. npm run dev - to run the application in dev mode (using webpack-dev-server)
3. Open up http://localhost:3000 to view the app
4. Open up src/App.js and hack away. Hit save and enjoy the magic!

Other useful commands

• npm run dist - to generate the production version of the application's script(s)
