Integrate React App SDK

[koistya]

What do you think about extracting (1) webpack.config.js, (2) all the dev dependencies (~50), and automation scripts (build, run) into a stand-alone npm package (react-app)?

This way it might be easier for to keep your project based on ASP.NET Core Starter Kit template up to date, you just update react-app-tools dev dependency in your front-end project from time to time, which will ensure that you're using the latest and greatest configs and CLI tools ready to be used for building, running and testing your React application.

The package.json file in your project will look nice and clean, literally:

{
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "history": "^3.0.0",
    "react": "^15.2.1",
    "react-app": "^1.1.1",
    "react-dom": "^15.2.1",
    "react-redux": "^4.4.5",
    "redux": "^3.5.2",
    "whatwg-fetch": "^1.0.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "react-app-tools": "^1.1.1",
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build": "react-app build",
    "start": "react-app start",
  }
}
