Setup React.js from scratch using TypeScript and WebPack

Показать описание

I demonstrate how to bootstrap a project from zero to a working React application with a minimal set of NPM dependencies. More precise - a total of eight essential packages will be installed! Learn what it takes to make WebPack bundle a React application, and serve it for you with source maps enabled. All application development is done using TypeScript.

On a serious note, tools such a Create React App are an overkill. IMHO. It's best to understand what goes on under the hood. Use a minimal approach to setup your project. This way you have a guarantee that as time passes, and your app grows, you will be able to edit/upgrade any underlying configs and tooling with confidence!
