Configure React with Webpack

1. Add modules

  • create src directory
  • create public directory
  • add modules for es6
yarn add -D @babel/core @babel/preset-env @babel/preset-react

2. Install webpack modules

yarn add -D webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server babel-loader css-loader style-loader html-webpack-plugin

3. webpack.config.js

webpack.config.js

const path = require('path')
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin')

const htmlPlugin = new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
    template: './public/index.html',
    filename: './index.html',
})

const config = mode => {
    const isDevelopMode = mode === 'development'
    return {
        entry: './src/index.js',
        output: {
            path: path.join(__dirname, '/build'),
            filename: 'index.bundle.js',
        },
        module: {
            rules: [
                {
                    test: /\\.(js|jsx)$/,
                    exclude: /node_modules/,
                    use: {
                        loader: 'babel-loader',
                    },
                },
                {
                    test: /\\.(css)$/,
                    use: [
                        {
                            loader: 'style-loader',
                        },
                        {
                            loader: 'css-loader',
                            options: {
                                modules: {
                                    localIdentName: isDevelopMode
                                        ? '[path][name]__[local]--[hash:base64:5]'
                                        : '[name]__[local]--[hash:base64:5]',
                                },
                                importLoaders: 1,
                                sourceMap: true,
                            },
                        },
                    ],
                },
            ],
        },
        plugins: [htmlPlugin],
    }
}

module.exports = (env, argv) => {
    const { mode } = argv
    return config(mode)
}

4. Add index.html in public directory

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge" />
        <title>React PWA Webpack</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="root"></div>
    </body>
</html>

5. Configure Babel

.babelrc

{
    "presets": ["@babel/env", "@babel/react"]
}

6. Install React

yarn add react react-dom

7. Create src/index.js

src/index.js

import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'

const Root = () => <div>Hello World!</div>

ReactDOM.render(<Root />, document.getElementById('root'))

8. Add package.json scripts

package.json

"scripts": {
    "build:prod": "webpack --mode=production",
    "build:dev": "webpack --mode=development"
}

9. establish dev server with hot reload

package.json

"scripts": {
    "start:dev": "webpack-dev-server --mode=development --open --hot"
}
