Easy to Change to Typescript?

[LarsOL]

We have had experience in React + Babel + Webapack in the last project and are trying to start from a community "best practises" for our new project.

After doing some research I like the idea of typescript, especially it's IDE support on larger projects. So does anyone know if changing will be as simple as converting webpack to the typescript loader. Or is the integration deeper, and it will be a non trivial task to change it?

Thanks
