How best to document the setup, dev, and build process?

[swyxio]

if I write too much I end up writing a typescript textbook. I would really like to avoid that. but sometimes there are little shitty issues when setting up and building a react+ typescript app. should I just have a separate BUILDING.md?

@sw-yx babel 7 preset vs webpack loader (awesome vs ts!?) vs typescript! It's a little daunting.

oh man... i dont even know anything about that.. i just do whatever stackoverflow tells me to do

I also started some research on that topic, since we are currently having a complex webpack 3 setup. So for "migration" to webpack 4 we might need to/have the chance to to it properly from scratch.
It is hard to find resources on that topic.

Maybe we can collect some resources and facts that are up to date in this issue first.
I'd be happy to contribute to a PR that concludes that information.

absolutely. to be honest i start from CRA-TS or CRAP-TS so i dont have much to say there but would love to take a PR with some basic instructions to get discussions started. dont feel the need to write a whole book on it :p

At this point due to the power of Babel 7 I would just point folks to https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-React-Starter. I use it for bootstrapping my teams' repos and it works quite well. The only weirdness comes from if you want to use ESLint which requires a bit of tinkering to get working with TypeScript.

i actually recently removed TS react starter from my recommended list. they dont seem to be very actively maintained.
