Description

TL;DR: https://github.com/gaearon/react-hot-boilerplate/pull/61

babel-plugin-react-transform is now deprecated, React Hot Loader 3 is on the horizon. The biggest advantage for me right now is that I want to write more components as stateless functions but if I do, hot reloading breaks.

Research direction
The issue requests migrating from the deprecated babel plugin react transform to React Hot Loader 3. Refer to the linked PR https://github.com/gaearon/react hot boilerplate/pull/61 for the implementation in a boilerplate. The changes likely involve updating the Babel plugin configuration in hjs webpack's webpack setup and adjusting the hot loading entry points. Check existing webpack config files in the repository to understand the current setup and apply analogous changes.
