The dist file contains only the production version of react about foreman-js

I'm a bit hesitant to create different build for prod and dev since part of the incentive for the vendor package is to use the same artifact for both, but perhaps there's no good solution here.

Agree but I can't think about a better solution as well.

IMO we should support consumers in a transparent way:

rake webpack:compile # should use the `production` version
foreman start # should use the `development` version with `webpack-dev-server`
RAILS_ENV|NODE_ENV=production foreman start # should use the `production` version with `webpack-dev-server`

We can update the webpack.plugin.js so it will be transparent for consumers.

Ok, i guess that makes sense, as long as we can still run the production version in development if needed that's already better than what we have now (that node-production build differs from the release build)

This makes sense to me as well, we should also update any relevant documentation so people are aware of this.
