This is great since it provides an OFFICIAL opinionated set of tools for building React apps which is typically the largest barrier of entry for new developers looking to experiment with this technology.

However, it is missing a lot of core features that typically come standard with Webpack/React boilerplates. Directly from their Github:

Some features are currently not supported:

    Server rendering.
    Testing.
    Some experimental syntax extensions (e.g. decorators).
    CSS Modules.
    LESS or Sass.
    Hot reloading of components.

So a great first set of features for a simple React starter project, but for those of you looking to expand the development toolkit from this currently limited configuration, check out the following link to search React boiler projects on github based on a number of criteria like the ability to search by features included such as CSS Modules, Hot Module Replacement, etc.

For those looking to learn more about the ecosystem, the following resource lists might be useful.

Lack of testing is a pretty big oversight given how helpful testing is for someone getting started. Hopefully it is easy to just add mocha on top of this with out any mucking around?

It shouldn’t be too hard.

This is not an oversight, we literally developed this project in a single week. We plan to add testing, just need to decide on the runner and good defaults: https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues....

I really would love to see all the "features" listed above (and more) as a part of this tool.

eg; `create-react-app --hot --less`

Including commonly-used defaults first, and adding full community bundling later, would be much appreciated. There are probably <10 such packages which would account for a wide range of the first week or so of any React project.

Good luck with this project and thanks a ton for dreaming it up & getting it out the door!

blushes oversight was a bad choice of a word. I'm excited to see this and excited to see testing tools a part of it.

Thanks for plugging my list :) VERY happy to see that people are finding it a useful set of resources, and I'm continuing to add links to it as I go. I'm trying to find more intermediate/advanced content to fill it out, as I figure I've got more than enough basic tutorials listed for now.
