React 16+ Bootstrap webpack 4 Babel 7 with Hot Reload STARTER

ReactJS + Bootstrap starter with hot reload

Full client and server side in ES6+-ES2015+ using only React 16.3 Context API for state management

Dev bundle connects context to redux devTools (yes you are not dreaming) to feel redux development experience in a pure Context API app. Contrary to a redux based app connecting to devTools is not automatic (you have to specify each pseudo-action you want to trace in devTools state).

Concept behind: this starter is an easy way to understand and ready to use ReactJS (ES6) + bootstrap + webpack starter with:

no hard core Webpack config so it is more commonly understandable (they are numerous amazing starters with incredible webpack configs — hard core configs aren't bad things at all! —. This one is just for easier understanding for people even discovering webpack)
with hot reload (ReactJS + webpack => hot reload = WINNER)
no flux (yes, to give you freedom to add then since you may want to use something else like observables?)
with JWT auth
ReactJS Components written with optimization tricks (stateless, pure render...).
