React & Typescript - #2 Webpack Setup

We're onto the Webpack setup of this course which is essentially a video version of my medium article.

This video series will explain how to use Typescript in a React Project with Webpack. By the end of this course, you should be comfortable installing and using typescript in a React project.

As usual, if you have any questions or would like anything to be clarified, please don't hesitate to add a comment or to email me directly.

Nice Job Richard .. you have a very smooth teaching style. I have watched several videos on typescript and react and the way you hit the high points and the details without getting lost in the weeds but also not missing any of the key details is very good. I'll be watching more of your stuff for sure.

Thanks for you videos! I just want to start my project with TypeScript and i I have never worked with it. So your tutorial is my lifeline!)

Great video, just wanted to point out one thing, you should always use ID when selecting your root element where react gets mounted as there can be multiple elements with same class and that can lead to errors, but other than that amazing series 👍. Keep it up!

If any of you are having issues installing awesome-typescript-loader, please make sure in your package.json file that typescript is set to "^3" or "^2.7" for it to work.

Thank you for this video. The content is great, but I find the video quality quite poor where I am unable to decipher urls e.g. at 10:10 - the url is also in the detailed description so that helps. The video is a bit fuzzy - hope that helps for the future.

You can type: "script:src" and press Enter. At least it works in VSCode used by me.

If you happen to get error: Cannot find module 'webpack/bin/config-yargs', then you're probably running webpack-dev-server 2.x against Webpack 4. Update to the latest and you're good to go.
