FrontEnd Scripts makes it easy to spin up a react app with all of the functionality to be desired from the OG Create React App.

Quick Overview

create-react-app my-app --scripts-version frontend-scripts
cd my-app
npm start

Then open http://localhost:3000/ to see your app. When you’re ready to deploy to production, create a minified bundle with npm run build, just like usual.

What's new

Bundled packages:

• Redux & Redux-Thunk
• Redux Devtools
• React Router v4
• Lodash

Bundled configs:

• Hot Module Replacement for JS (CRA only supports hot reloading for CSS)
• Absolute path for everything under the src folder
  • Reduces the extra ../../ for imports
  • eg: import SomeComponent from 'components/SomeComponent'
• Babel Transform Decorators
• Babel React CSS Modules (configured for scss)

Bundled eye-candy:

• Standard JS linting
• Webpack Dashboard

Breaking differences:

babel-plugin-react-css-modules

This boilerplate adds support for CSS-Modules with an scss flavor.

What this means:

1. All imported .scss files are by default treated as local modules.
2. Styles are applied slightly differently:
3. Use the styleName prop for a local style
4. Use the className prop for a global style (src/styles/global.scss)

Note: all .css files are treated as they normally would be.
