react-esbuild-starter

Starter template for React and Typescript. Inspired by https://github.com/sikanhe/rescript-esbuild-starter

It provides minimal yet 🔥 blazing fast ™ development boilerplate for rapid React prototyping.

• yarn start Starts typescript typechecking and esbuild in watch mode, and serves web page at localhost:5000.
• yarn build Builds production bundle for browser, outputs bundle to dist/bundle.js with source map.
• yarn clean Clean up assets produced by esbuild.

All code bundling and transpilation is handled by esbuild. Its configuration is kept inside esbuild.config.mjs. Follow esbuild docs to see all supported options.

Caveats

• No output file hashing
• No test runner
• Importing CSS in JS file is not supported in esbuild yet. It is currently in development evanw/esbuild#20. In meantime either opt-in for some CSS-in-JS solution, or include styles directly in www/index.html.
