REACT18-WEBPACK5-BABEL7 BOILERPLATE
This is a really simple and minimalistic React 18, Webpack 5 and Babel 7 boilerplate project.
By simple and minimalistic i mean simple and minimalistic. It is just that. A simple project, with the most common dependencies (both prod and dev) for a minimal React project setup.
It doesn't include any test suites or CSS frameworks. It doesn't even include a router.
Project goal
The goal is to save me (and maybe you) like 10 or 15 minutes setting up the things i will need to use on every new react project. Sometimes i don't need CSS, sometimes i don't test dumb things, sometimes a project doesn't even feature a single link.
So that's why is this simple. This is my bare minimum to start working on even the most trivial of projects.
Usage
Install with npm and execute with npx!
Install globally with npm:
npm i @infinizhen/react-webpack-babel-boilerplate -g
Then you can run the package a là CRA:
npx infinizhen your-app
or
npx react-webpack-babel-boilerplate my-app
Clone the repo!
git clone https://github.com/Infinizhen/react-webpack-babel-boilerplate.git
Project Structure
The project structure is just suited to my most common needs. It is not important and obviously you don't need to follow that structure at all.
All the code is stored in /src.
The entry point of the project is /src/index.js. This file renders a one-liner placeholder Component in that very file wich its only intention is to act as, well... a placeholder. It just renders a strings confiriming everything went okay when you run the app for the first time.
I usually write a layout component/s wich then will show other components, these are stored in /src/layout/.
Then i also usually diferentiate between "components" and "controls" even if they both are technically components, so i separate them in /src/components/ and /src/controls/ respectively.
Webpack is configured to build a bundle.js in the /public folder, using /src/index.html as the template.
package.json scripts
The most easy ones for webpack 5:
serve
runsnpm run webpack serve --mode development
build
runsnpm run webpack --mode production
Configurations
Webpack
It has the babel loader, and the style / css loader. Even if this project comes with no css frameworks or files, this configuration is included for obvious reasons.
It also features html-webpack-plugin and mini-css-extract-plugin.
Babel
This project uses a .babelrc file with @babel/preset-env and @babel/preset-react.
Other features
.browserslistrc
Babel will transpile to alive browsers with 0.25% market share or more.
