### Features:
+ You can use /app/_config/webpack.yml to setup webpack server parameters which will be used by webpack server and by SilverStripe to serve static content
+ You can use WebpackJS('file-name') and WebpackCSS('file-name') functions at templates to require JS and CSS. It will be served using static files or by using Webpack if the website in development mode and Webpack server is running
+ WebpackTemplateProvider::WebpackJS('file-name') and WebpackTemplateProvider::WebpackCSS('file-name') can be used at php area
+ All images will be optimised at /app/client/src/img and will be written to /app/client/dist/img (by default)
+ Favicons will be generated at /app/client/dist/icons using /app/src/favicon.png
+ Folder /app/client/src/js/types is used to create page specific JS (just create JS file there and it will be compiled)
+ Folder /app/clent/src/scss/types is used to create page specific CSS (just create SCSS file there and it will be compiled)
+ Automatic linting (JS+SCSS)
+ Bootstrap 4 included by default
