Setup ReactJS environment

Question

I am new on ReactJS and learning from scratch. I see some using babel and some are webpack to configure as well some use yarn package manager. So can you suggest me which is better to work with react.

I just curious about configuring reactJS environment thorugh which bundle or package manager?

Answer 1

babel is a transpiler, webpack is a bundler and yarn (or npm) is a package manager. These tools are for different purposes. And usually we use all of them together.

React has a very handy tool called Create React App. With this tool you don't need to configure babel and webpack by yourself so you can start to learn React easily.
