What sublime theme is this?

It's the One Dark theme for Atom. :)

My package.json file looked absolutely nothing like this. I'm on v 2.14.7, and node 4.2.1. The first time I tried the command you set, I had all of those peerDependency errors, so I npm installed a bunch I found here - https://github.com/henrikjoreteg/hjs-webpack, but I feel like this video is missing a few steps here. For scripts, all I have is: "scripts": { "test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1" }

Is there something I'm not doing properly?

Thanks!

Hey Elliott,

It looks like hjs-webpack removed the peerDependencies in v3.0.0. You can either use the instructions they added at https://github.com/HenrikJoreteg/hjs-webpack/blob/master/README.md#optional-dependencies or install a 2.x version via npm i -S hjs-webpack@2.x.

The scripts section of your package.json has to be edited manually.

Hey Ben,

Great video. Was looking forward to the ease of setting this up but having some errors with transpiling the jsx on my main render to the DOM.

I thought it was something i did but then ran into this issue: https://github.com/HenrikJoreteg/hjs-webpack/issues/93 , which seems to suggest that hjs-webpack does not yet work with babel 6. Any ideas how to proceed?
