We use configuration with Mocha, Enzyme, JSDOM, Chai, Sinon etc. You can even test CSS Modules. Check out the example file in __tests__ folder.

Front-end stuff

  3. We use CSS Modules
  4. We use HMR
  5. There is React Router configuration here although we don't use it in this demo

This boilerplate needs improvements, but it is quite useful already. If you have any ideas let me know. I plan to build an app based on it so it will be probably improved over time.

There will be also a blog post about it soon. Stay tuned...

ps. I've included .hz/secrets.toml here in the repo. In the real apps you don't want to do this ;) You need to keep your settings in secret.
