nwb is a zero-configuration build toolkit for React, Preact, Inferno, and vanilla JS web apps and npm modules, bundling Webpack, Babel, and Karma behind a single CLI. It is now officially deprecated and unmaintained, with Vite recommended as its replacement.
Use cases
- scaffold a react app with no config
- build a react component library for npm
- set up webpack and babel without configuration
- run karma tests for a preact project
- bundle a vanilla javascript web module
- quick react prototype without tooling setup
When to choose
- maintaining an existing legacy project already built with nwb
- you need a frozen, known-working webpack/babel/karma setup for an old codebase
When to avoid
- starting any new React, Preact, or web project - use Vite instead
- you want actively maintained tooling or security updates
- you need modern features like ESM-native dev servers or Vitest integration
