Chapter 11. React Tools
In the previous chapter, we learned how to use Animation add-on and CSS transition. We have also explored different events and studied how to easily enhance our application in order to create stunning effects using animations.
In this chapter, we will look at various tools in the React ecosystem, which are useful in the whole lifetime of an application—the development, debugging, and build tools. We will see how these tools make developing React applications a beautiful experience.
We will study the following tools in this chapter:
- Babel
- ESLint
- React Developer Tools
- Webpack
- Hot reloading using Webpack
Mike and Shawn had some free time before starting their next project. They decided to spend this time in learning more about various tools that they had used so far in their React projects for development, testing, and bundling the apps.
