Show HN: Reactpack – one command to build your React front end

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.

Just a small utility for people who are tired of remembering what babel presets or Webpack loaders they need to build a relatively up to date React project.

Nice work! I&#x27;ve been looking for something like this.<p>I hope to see more tools in this vein emerge from the JavaScript ecosystem - tools that aren&#x27;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.)

We use &quot;bates&quot; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;luiscarli&#x2F;bates" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;luiscarli&#x2F;bates</a> by our own engineer

I would love this only for the react stuff. More useful defaults, less opinions. For example: please let me chose my own CSS workflow and please don&#x27;t force me to write javascript without semicolons like an animal :P.<p>Update: I just realised that you can bypass the linter and the postcss. I am sorry OP, looks like I&#x27;m a lazy jackass.

Finally, an opinionated build tool.

I&#x27;ve similar plugin for gulp <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ro31337&#x2F;gulp-react-easy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ro31337&#x2F;gulp-react-easy</a>

react router missing

That is an amazing logo.

I&#x27;m a bit confused - this didn&#x27;t actually install a shell script that can be run ?

was that...like...a hundred megs for a web page?

When I try to install it npm just hangs<p>command:<p><pre><code> npm i --save-dev reactpack </code></pre> node version:<p><pre><code> v0.12.6 </code></pre> npm version<p><pre><code> 2.11.2 </code></pre> uname -a<p><pre><code> Linux gentoo-1 4.4.0-22-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 12 22:03:46 UTC 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU&#x2F;Linux</code></pre>

<p><pre><code> S E M I C O L O N S E M I C O L O N S</code></pre>

These things are always funny to me. By the third or so release, it&#x27;ll be just as easy to write your own script than to learn how to use this.
