I started learning about React from Facebook’s official tutorial page, and it was fantastic. There was zero configuration, and I got straight to developing and experimenting with React.

But I’ve always wondered what was the bare minimum I would need to get a React project up and running. So here is the result — a boilerplate project.

Of course, the boilerplate lacks the following, which I thought was important:

• Mocha/Jasmine/Jest/etc. – no test frameworks.
• Flux/Redux – no state management.
