• build:analyze - Builds production version and runs build analyzer on http://localhost:8888
• dev-build - Creates a development build in /.dev folder

Proxy

By default the server runs on 8888 and proxies /api to http://localhost:8080/api. Default config includes WebSocket support. See Webpack devServer.proxy

Style Import

CSS and SCSS modules

Has full support for css and scss modules. Use by importing like import style from './MyStyle.scss' and then pass into jsx elements as <div className={style.myClass} />. To use nested class names in scss use [class~='myClass'] { ... } or :global(.myClass){ ... }.

Static File Serving

Files in public folder will be served as /static/ in browser.

Absolute Imports

Supports absolute imports, e.g. import Test from '@components/Test'. See Webpack resolve.alias

SVG import as React Components

Supports SVG import as React Components like import MySvg from 'assets/mysvg.svg' then use as <MySvg />.
