• Ask HN: Are you even using open source web libraries?

  Do you have a template or boilerplate for new projects?

  Looking at this one at the moment:

  I've never found CRA makes project management any easier (aside from the first few days after setting up a new project). In the long run it's always been a pain as it prevents you from touching most of the config. Personally I use this ReactTemplate which uses many of the same tools as CRA but with everything exposed and much more sensible defaults so it's easy to configure for whatever you want and nothing is forced upon you.

• Why the negativity towards Webpack?

  Most people have only ever used Webpack via CRA which is a terribly optimized config. If you design your own Webpack config it can be so fast that you won't notice it. (Example)

• I am converting my js files to ts, need feedback if I am doing things as I am supposed to.

  I recommend setting up tsconfig with strict mode enabled and ESLint and TypeScript ESLint rules to be fairly strict. This is a great way to learn with guard rails as it'll slap you when you try to do something which is unsafe or too loosely typed. Here's a reference ESLint config that is frequently updated with any newly released rules that fit well. This happens to be for a TypeScript React project, but you can always trim out the rules from plugins that aren't relevant for you.

  Don't forget ESLint. Arguably more important than many of those other things for fixing the common mistakes that most developers make. And note that the recommended ESLint configs are incredibly conservative so you probably want to customize the rules to get much higher quality. An example of one of my recommended React/TypeScript ESLint configs.

• What is this called and how do I add it?
  6 projects | /r/webdev | 7 Mar 2023

  And then I have a ton of code-level tools and configs that I use all the time. Many of which are in this React Template if you want to pick through it. There's code spellcheckers, dependency update checkers, extensive linting configs and more.

  If you want a reference, take a look at this eslint config for some good rules to use.

• Does CRA + Typescript get pretty slow for anyone?
  2 projects | /r/reactjs | 19 Feb 2023

  If you want a reference, this ReactTemplate is very simple and in many cases can be used as a drop-in for CRA.

• Moving an app away from create-react-app

  No reason to go overkill with a metaframework. All you need is a new build config. That's all CRA is, a collection of configuration files. I choose to just configure what I need myself so I have control over it and can easily customize it and get all of the features and performance that I want if I want it. The content of your app shouldn't need to change just because your build process changes. (If you want a reference, here's the React Template I start with.)

• Can any one audit my .eslintrc? React + TS + Vite + Jest + Airbnb

  Yeah here's the config from my open source React Template: https://github.com/CreativeTechGuy/ReactTemplate/blob/main/.eslintrc.js
