You would need some familiarity with npm first but after that the current practice is to use webpack with 'loaders' to transform JSX, ES6 etc. This is intermediate: webpack-howto https://github.com/petehunt/webpack-howto

The React world embraced WebPack after a modularity-kerfuffle back in January[1]. Pete Hunt followed that with his webpack-howto repo [2] which kind of turned the tide. I really like Gulp/Browserify/Watchify/BrowserSync, but I'm starting to feel left behind and need to give WebPack an honest try.

I'm referencing this all the time, but that's because it's great: you may want to show coworkers this tutorial: https://github.com/lukehoban/es6features I was intimidated by ES6 in the beginning and knew just basic JS with jQuery and Lodash, but honestly starting out with ES6 is pretty easy and I can say I love writing ES6 now! Webpack (https://webpack.github.io/) simplifies using Babel, this is a good intro: https://github.com/petehunt/webpack-howto

In Gulp.js: The streaming build system

grayrest·Jul 27, 2014

Current preferred setup is: - npm for javascript dependencies - vendor dir for sass deps (I've had problems with Bower don't run enough deps to put up with it) - Webpack [1] and some shell scripts for builds. Webpack does all the hard/coordinated stuff and the scripts copy files. I've used Rake, Grunt, and Gulp with Browserify to do the same things and find my current setup works better. [1] https://github.com/petehunt/webpack-howto - Sass. I strongly dislike Less. - React with Bacon - Jest for testing. I'm not completely thrilled with this. It's awesome when it works but I've also spent half a day tracking down a bug that turned out to not be a bug and instead an artifact of the Jest module loader. - Vim with my own set of javascript + library UltiSnips snippets. Tip: when you're writing library snippets, write them as e.g. 'react.snippe

ts' and NOT 'javascript_react.snippets'. This prevents the various library snippets from interfering with each other. Vim supports a file having multiple simultaneous filetypes using a dotted notation `:set ft=javascript.react` and you can use ftdetect to automate the setting.
