they follow react current best practices and use the react scripts. create-react-app to create the template project and the react build scripts to do the build (the react build scripts use webpack under the covers). see:

you can do an
npm run eject
to stop using the supplied scripts and take control yourself.
if its development mode. the core template in startup has:
spa.UseReactDevelopmentServer(npmScript:
"start");
