React + React-Router + Redux + Bootstrap + Webpack 2 with Hot Reload and redux-devtools STARTER

My best React + redux project starter.

• webpack is as simple as possible
• ReactJS is written with optimization tricks (stateless, pure render...).
• pure front-end = server independant (use whatever you want as server: NodeJS, Rails, .NET...)

Concept behind: same as react-bootstrap-webpack-starter but added Redux and amazing and helpful redux-devtools.

Breaking changes since v3.0.0

• upgrade to react-router v4

Breaking changes since v2.3.0

• upgrade to webpack 2.x
• upgrade React 15.5.x +
• PropTypes from 'prop-types' (react 15.5 breaking change)

Breaking changes since v2.2.0

• cross-env added so no more particular windows command
• serve dev and prod bundles
• npm run serve-dev: with server hot reload (uses nodemon)
• npm run serve-prod: production like node-express server

Breaking changes since v2.1.0

• whatwg-fetch is now replaced by axios.
• react-addons-shallow-compare is removed since ReactJS 15.4+ PureComponent does the job
• splits vendors script and css from main bundle (extract-text-webpack-plugin v1.x)
• create map file (DEV)
• prepared launch.json for VSCode debugger
• add typescript types (typings)
• add flow types (flow-typed)

Breaking changes since v2.0.0

• redux-devtools is now replaced by redux-devtools-extension.
