React 16.14 (Typescript) React-Router 5 + Redux + Bootstrap + Webpack 5 with Hot Reload and redux-devtools-extension STARTER

My best React + redux project starter.

• webpack is as simple as possible
• ReactJS is written with optimization tricks (stateless, hooks, pure render, PureComponent...).
• pure front-end = server independant (use whatever you want as server: NodeJS, Rails, .NET...)
• SPA but SEO and/or PWA friendly since use of dynamic imports and application snapshot.

Concept behind: same as react-bootstrap-webpack-starter but added Redux and amazing and helpful redux-devtools-extension.

Detailed Content

Front:

• Typescript
• React JS (16.14 - github 🔗)
  • NOTE: React 17+ is not really developer friendly "yet" considering react-refresh (= hot reload replacement: RIP my friend) to be not fully stable
• Redux (as you application grows managing state will be a serious concern, save pain with Redux)
• React-Redux (Redux is not specific to ReactJS, you could easily use it with Angular2 for instance)
• redux-devtools-extension (github 🔗)
• react-router (4.x- github 🔗)
• Bootstrap (4.x - github 🔗)
• reactstrap (github 🔗)
• loadable-components - work with reactsnap for better static website performance - (stuck to pre v2.2.3+ breakings changes, waiting for a new solution see PR)
• font-awesome (github 🔗)
• animate.css (github 🔗)
• classnames (github 🔗)
• react-motion (github 🔗)
• Webpack 4.x (github 🔗)
• axios (github 🔗 Why: simple, complete, isomorphic ...)

Tool chain:

• Typescript
• eslint
• webpack 5
• hot reload
• loaders
  • ts / tsx
  • css
  • json
  • images formats
  • svg and fonts formats

tests:
