I wish we had something like this officially backed by the react team. In 30 minutes when a new standard approach comes out, this tool will become obsolete.

+1

would love more "explicit (in code) best practices" if possible even a "recommended default approach"

i understand that a full "framework" is not the way to for the community. but a few default standards would be good as guidance for newcomers and to manage expectations of coders coming into existing projects

Nice work! I've been looking for something like this.

I hope to see more tools in this vein emerge from the JavaScript ecosystem - tools that aren't afraid to make some well-reasoned assumptions for the sake of a more minimal interface. (It seems like every tool nowadays wants you to put another dotfile or garbage.json at the root of your project.)

Those versions of npm and node are quite old - I imagine the minimum requirements might be higher, though the project should have those outlined.

It could just be spinning - Babel 6 presets install _lots_ of duplicated dependencies with npm2.

I need to move a similar project from Babel 5 to Babel 6 soon and tried manually deduplicating Babel 6 preset dependencies for better npm2 support [1] - doing so reduced the size of node_modules/ from ~120MB to ~6MB!

To be fair, this is just packaging up a fairly standard webpack config with a nice CLI: https://github.com/olahol/reactpack/blob/master/config.js

So, it can be extended or changed as the whims of the JS community migrate between tools and practices.
