@stevenjlho Not sure what you mean. Writing presets is already possible, just did not write any yet. @sapegin True! Edited it :) |

FWIW, I think this is too much to include by default. Specifically postcss/babel-preset-env. The other stuff seems fine as a base, I'd have that be a preset rather than a required base. |

The idea of that particular preset was to provide some sane defaults to quickly get a fresh project up and running, that's why babel and autoprefixer are listed here. I had something like a create-react-app preset in mind. Since we are about to remove all implicitly set defaults from |

I think this kind of presets are out of the scope of webpack-blocks because it makes setup still more complicated then CRA but at the same time you can’t easily modify and customize this preset (the main issue of CRA and the main selling point of webpack-blocks in my opinion) and can’t easily see what’s inside. I think we rather need a cookbook like chapter in the docs that would explain how to use webpack-blocks for React, Vue, Angular, whatever. So you could easily copy configuration and modify it for your project. |

Fair enough. |
Since probably 90%+ of the users will want to have Babel and the autoprefixer it would be nice to ship a preset (using
group()) that sets some blocks configured in a best-practice manner:babel-preset-env(targetlast 2 versionsfor instance)babel-preset-env)process.env.NODE_ENV(in output code, usingdefineConstants)resolve.extensionsto webpack defaults plus the popular''(so it's nice to use withcreateConfig.vanilla()as well; only needed for webpack 1.x)Not sure if those should be included
Problems left to solve
Cannot set PostCSS plugins from within webpack config anymore when using webpack 2(fixed by #74
