How do I set up a React project with TypeScript and Webpack?

To set up a React project with TypeScript and Webpack, you need to follow these steps: 1. Initialize your project with npm init -y. 2. Install React, ReactDOM, TypeScript, and Webpack using npm. 3. Create a tsconfig.json file for TypeScript configuration. 4. Set up Webpack configuration in webpack.config.js. 5. Create your React components in .tsx files.

What packages do I need to install?

You need to install the following packages: react, react-dom, typescript, webpack, webpack-cli, ts-loader, and @types/react and @types/react-dom for TypeScript definitions.

Can you show me a sample Webpack configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic webpack.config.js:

const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.tsx',
  output: {
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
  },
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.tsx', '.ts', '.js'],
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /.tsx?$/, 
        use: 'ts-loader',
        exclude: /node_modules/, 
      },
    ],
  },
};

How do I run the project after setting it up?

After setting up, you can run your project by adding a script in your package.json like this:

"scripts": {
  "start": "webpack serve --mode development"
}

Then, run npm start to launch your project.
