## Description

Frontend boilerplate is a starter template for building single-page applications with React, Redux, and Webpack. It provides a preconfigured project structure and toolchain designed to help developers begin creating client-side web applications immediately.

The project incorporates a frontend build pipeline utilizing Webpack, Babel, and PostCSS for compiling scripts and styles. It supports modular state management through centralized stores and reactive update patterns, view navigation through routing, and scoped CSS styling to prevent class name leakage across components. 

Additional developer tooling includes a hot-reload development workflow for reflecting code edits immediately without losing application state, alongside browser tooling support for tracking state mutations and time-travel debugging metrics during development.
