I proudly completed the minimum setup for ReactJS. ESLint, Webpack, FastRefresh, Babel, TypeScript, Prettier, ESLint, Husky, Lint Staged, etc. I did it under two hours. What an achievement.

Code sample

You can find the code sample here in my GitHub repository https://github.com/srele96/code-splitting.

How I did it

I started by copy-pasting the suggested sample from the Fast Refresh repository https://github.com/pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin.

Then I installed the whole lot of packages:

  • webpack
  • webpack-cli
  • @babel/core
  • @babel/preset-env
  • @babel/preset-react
  • @babel/preset-typescript
  • typescript
  • etc.

Then I wanted absolute paths, tsconfig.json, @babel/preset-typescript didn’t parse JSX. Extensions were missing. Everything that I set up back in October was coming back to me. Every problem was coming back.

Then I was done.

Beautiful.

This post is me expressing my hype, not a tutorial. I appreciate the reads :)

I am so happy :)
