I&#39;d like to use `react.min.js` from a CDN in production (e.g. https://unpkg.com/react@15.3.1/dist/react.min.js)

What is the best way to get Webpack to transform my `import React from &#39;react&#39;` statements into `const React = window.React` instead of building `node_modules/react` into the bundle?                 

I&#39;ve been doing it with `resolve.alias` like this:

In `index.html`:

    &lt;head&gt;
      &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://unpkg.com/react@15.3.1/dist/react.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
      &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;/assets/bundle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;

In `webpack.prod.config.js`:

    alias: {
      react$: &#39;./getWindowReact&#39;,
    },

`getWindowReact.js`:

    module.exports = window.React;

**Note**: In the old question I didn&#39;t realize that building React into a Webpack bundle with `NODE_ENV=production` would strip out the `propTypes` checks.  One of the answers focuses on that.
