A boilerplate project that sets up a Webpack build workflow with a Node.js Express server, including React, hot module replacement, CSS Modules, and Babel with linting. It was designed as a starting template for full-stack JavaScript apps in the mid-2010s Webpack ecosystem.

Use cases

• set up a webpack project with express server
• boilerplate for react app with hot reloading
• starter template for node express with babel
• learn how to configure webpack with css modules
• full-stack javascript project starting point
• example of eslint and jscs setup with webpack

When to choose

• you need a historical reference for legacy webpack 1.x and express setups
• you are following the author's 2015 'ultimate webpack setup' article
• you want a minimal example of hot module replacement with react 0.14

When to avoid

• starting a new project today - tooling is severely outdated (webpack 1, react 0.14, node 4.x)
• you want modern build tooling like vite, next.js, or current webpack 5
• you need maintained, secure dependencies
• production use - the project is unmaintained
