React, Redux without Webpack :)

Have you ever thought about getting rid of (1) webpack.config.js, (2) all the dev dependencies, and (3) automation scripts in your React project by moving all that stuff into a stand-alone npm module?

This might be possible with react-app npm package! With this tool, the package.json file in your project may look nice and clean, literally:

{
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^15.2.1",
    "react-dom": "^15.2.1",
    "react-app", "^1.0.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "react-app-tools": "^0.2.0",
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build": "react-app build",
    "start": "react-app run",
  }
}

react-app-tools will give you a working set of tools (internally using Webpack), pre-configured for building and testing your React apps without a need of creating any configuration files. Yet, you will be able to tweak the default config if needed.

Give it a try! Just create a new folder, then:

> npm install -g react-app
> react-app new        # Scaffold a new project
> react-app run        # Launch your React app
