FAQ

• Why all the technologies? I just need React.

  You are right, you don't need any of the listed technologies other than React itself to build a React application. However, additional tools will help us code much more efficiently.

• I still think the standard list is too long.

  You can remove the following:

  • LESS, PostCSS - If you use plain CSS.
  • ESLint, EditorConfig - If you and your team are very consistent with your coding style, or don't care much.
  • Flow - If you don't want to do type checking.
