Webpack React Bootstrap Boilerplate

##Installing:

1. Install node.js (LTS) - https://nodejs.org/

2. Open Terminal and "cd path_to_project_root" ( For example cd C:\TFS\AwesomeProject )

3. npm install

Done! Now you have full configured environment for React development.

##Commands: npm start - run development environment, it starts webpack dev server. (just open http://localhost:8080/ in browser for view result).

npm run prod - create fully minified production-ready files in dist folder.

##How to deploy to server:

1. npm run prod

2. Copy files from dist folder to your server.

3. Done!

##Bootstrap configuration with SASS

By default all of Bootstrap is imported.

You can also import components explicitly. To start with a full list of modules copy /node_modules/bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap.scss file into your assets as bootstrap-custom.scss. Then comment out components you do not want from bootstrap-custom. In the application Sass file (main.scss), replace @import 'bootstrap' with:

@import 'bootstrap-custom';

##Included: React

React-Dom

Bootstrap (Bootstrap-SASS)

SASS css preprocessor

Babel and presets for transpilling from ES6/ES7 and JSX

Webpack and plugins

Webpack dev server for development

and other less important development packages

Also "Live Reload" included - webpack watch all your files and reload your browser on ctrl+s (on every file change)

##How to add packages: Execute npm install with "--save" flag. It inserts package to package.json file. For example, npm install bootstrap --save, it inserts bootstrap to package.json and npm install command in the root folder automatically install bootstrap for you in the future.

Also npm install --save-dev for development dependencies like webpack, sass, babel and others.
