Thank you Webpacker, Goodbye Webpacker
Webpacker also includes webpack-dev-server, so we made it work as well. Since I had Simpacker installed, I only had to change the devServer part in webpack.config.js to make it work with npm scripts.
- Dependency hell with webpack. What version do I need?

# Setup React app from scratch - Part-1(Get your project running)

Converting to Typescript
Okay. The normal setup is that you use https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-loader or https://github.com/TypeStrong/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin as part of your Webpack config. Those will run the TS compilation step as part of the Webpack processing sequence.

Announcing Parcel CSS: A new CSS parser, compiler, and minifier written in Rust!
I work on a TypeScript project of similar size and complexity, and ours does not take even nearly that long to compile on save. Have you tried fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin? We had compile times similar to yours until we started using it. Went from >60s to <1s builds in development. It's very simple to set up.

Do you guys compile with ts-loader or babel-loader?
Yeah, I mean less loaders = less time. Did you try fork ts checker and compileOnly? https://github.com/TypeStrong/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin

Hey when I want to run a vue frontend I need to increase my memory size, because js jumps out of memory.
That worker/memory limit is for the type checking only (rather than runtime memory), I believe this is done using https://github.com/TypeStrong/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin

Adding Typescript to your Existing Rails App
There are many ways to integrate TypeScript with an existing Webpack configuration. If you use the babel-loader package to transpile JavaScript files, you can add the @babel/preset-typescript preset to generate JavaScript files and the Fork TS Checker Webpack Plugin package to run the TypeScript type checker so that the build fails if there are type errors.

Debugging with developer tools
I cloned github repo into a new dir, ran install with --frozen-lockfile and test-gui with --clean and got the same error. Looks like it's coming from fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin and then found this among its reported issues: (https://github.com/TypeStrong/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin/issues/562).
