webpack2-react-sass-env-boilerplate

A boilerplate for creating applications with Webpack 3+, Babel w/ babel-preset-env, React and SASS.

This package includes everything you need to start building an application with Webpack 3, React and SASS.

To use with a bash script:

1. Create create-app executable

echo '#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
  echo "No package name was provided."
  exit 1
fi

PKG_NAME=$1
mkdir $PKG_NAME
cd $PKG_NAME
npm init -y
npm install webpack2-react-sass-env-boilerplate
cp -r ./node_modules/webpack2-react-sass-env-boilerplate/. ./
mv package.json.tpl package.json
find . -type f \( -name "*.html" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.ejs" -o -name "*.json" \) -and -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -exec sed -i.bak -e "s/{{PKG_NAME}}/${PKG_NAME}/g" {} \;;
find . -type f -name "*.bak" -and -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -exec rm {} \;;
mv "./assets/css/{{PKG_NAME}}" "./assets/css/${PKG_NAME}"
npm start' > create-app

2. Make sure you can execute the script

chmod 0744 create-app

3. Execute the script w/ a package name

./create-app your-pkg-name

package.json

Here you'll find a list of devDependencies for creating this type of application, however, they are listed under 'dependencies' since I use this project as a grouped devDependency in my personal projects.

package.json.tpl

Here is an example of what your package.json might look like, were you to use this package as a devDependency. Should you choose to do so, you can install this package with the command:

npm install --save-dev webpack2-react-sass-env-boilerplate

server.js

Using the command NODE_ENV=development && node server.js will start your application with hot module reloading on port :3000 of your localhost, using the webpack configuration at webpack.config.dev.js and the index file at index.html.

webpack.config.dev.js

This is an example of a basic development webpack configuration file for this type of application.

webpack.config.js

This is an example of a basic distribution webpack configuration file for this type of application. Commented out are examples of implementing Modernizr and http2 aggressive code splitting.

.babelrc

This is an example of a basic Babel 6 configuration utilizing babel-preset-env.

/src

This is where example index files for both hot reloading (index.hot.js) and distribution builds (index.js) are located, as well as the 'Hello world' React component (App.js).

/assets

Development Javascript files are output to this folder from webpack.config.dev.js and static assets such as images and SASS can be placed in here.
