Opendoor fork of https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app.
This fork exists in order to remove ModuleScopePlugin from the react-scripts webpack config. That plugin throws errors in cake because it fails to recognize aliased libs like bricks as node modules (and therefore OK to import even though they're outside of the src directory). It isn't sufficient to remove the plugin via craco because it also throws errors in the Cypress environment and Cypress doesn't use our craco settings.
In order to publish a new version of this forked library to NPM:
Rev the version, either by manually adjusting the version field in the package.json, or via yarn version --patch (| minor | major, ref https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/version/). Ensure your desired changes are code reviewed, and merged into the master branch. Ensure you have an NPM_TOKEN in your PATH with write privileges. The code repo injects an NPM_TOKEN into your environment with these permissions, so you should be able to navigate to code/, echo $NPM_TOKEN, and then export NPM_TOKEN=<the_token> from this project's working directory. Verify it has been set by running echo $NPM_TOKEN. Publish the build artifacts via yarn publish (the publish command will implicitly run a yarn build for you as a lifecycle hook before the build artifacts are published). NOTE: You may be prompted for NPM credentials (username, email, password) during this step. These credentials are stored in 1Password in the Devops Admins vault. If you lack access, please reach out to #frontend-infra for further support.
Create React apps with no build configuration.
- Creating an App – How to create a new app.
- User Guide – How to develop apps bootstrapped with Create React App.
Create React App works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
If something doesn’t work, please file an issue.
If you have questions or need help, please ask in GitHub Discussions.
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
If you've previously installed create-react-app
globally via npm install -g create-react-app
, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app
or yarn global remove create-react-app
to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.
(npx comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions)
Then open http://localhost:3000/ to see your app.
When you’re ready to deploy to production, create a minified bundle with npm run build
.
You don’t need to install or configure tools like webpack or Babel.
They are preconfigured and hidden so that you can focus on the code.
Create a project, and you’re good to go.
You’ll need to have Node 14.0.0 or later version on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server). We recommend using the latest LTS version. You can use nvm (macOS/Linux) or nvm-windows to switch Node versions between different projects.
To create a new app, you may choose one of the following methods:
npx create-react-app my-app
(npx is a package runner tool that comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions)
npm init react-app my-app
npm init <initializer>
is available in npm 6+
yarn create react-app my-app
yarn create <starter-kit-package>
is available in Yarn 0.25+
It will create a directory called my-app
inside the current folder.
Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure and install the transitive dependencies:
my-app
├── README.md
├── node_modules
├── package.json
├── .gitignore
├── public
│ ├── favicon.ico
│ ├── index.html
│ └── manifest.json
└── src
├── App.css
├── App.js
├── App.test.js
├── index.css
├── index.js
├── logo.svg
└── serviceWorker.js
└── setupTests.js
No configuration or complicated folder structures, only the files you need to build your app.
Once the installation is done, you can open your project folder:
cd my-app
Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:
Runs the app in development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will automatically reload if you make changes to the code.
You will see the build errors and lint warnings in the console.
Runs the test watcher in an interactive mode.
By default, runs tests related to files changed since the last commit.
Builds the app for production to the build
folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed.
You can find detailed instructions on using Create React App and many tips in its documentation.
Please refer to the User Guide for this and other information.
-
One Dependency: There is only one build dependency. It uses webpack, Babel, ESLint, and other amazing projects, but provides a cohesive curated experience on top of them.
-
No Configuration Required: You don't need to configure anything. A reasonably good configuration of both development and production builds is handled for you so you can focus on writing code.
-
No Lock-In: You can “eject” to a custom setup at any time. Run a single command, and all the configuration and build dependencies will be moved directly into your project, so you can pick up right where you left off.
Your environment will have everything you need to build a modern single-page React app:
- React, JSX, ES6, TypeScript and Flow syntax support.
- Language extras beyond ES6 like the object spread operator.
- Autoprefixed CSS, so you don’t need
-webkit-
or other prefixes. - A fast interactive unit test runner with built-in support for coverage reporting.
- A live development server that warns about common mistakes.
- A build script to bundle JS, CSS, and images for production, with hashes and sourcemaps.
- An offline-first service worker and a web app manifest, meeting all the Progressive Web App criteria. (Note: Using the service worker is opt-in as of
react-scripts@2.0.0
and higher) - Hassle-free updates for the above tools with a single dependency.
Check out this guide for an overview of how these tools fit together.
The tradeoff is that these tools are preconfigured to work in a specific way. If your project needs more customization, you can "eject" and customize it, but then you will need to maintain this configuration.
Create React App is a great fit for:
- Learning React in a comfortable and feature-rich development environment.
- Starting new single-page React applications.
- Creating examples with React for your libraries and components.
Here are a few common cases where you might want to try something else:
-
If you want to try React without hundreds of transitive build tool dependencies, consider using a single HTML file or an online sandbox instead.
-
If you need to integrate React code with a server-side template framework like Rails, Django or Symfony, or if you’re not building a single-page app, consider using nwb, or Neutrino which are more flexible. For Rails specifically, you can use Rails Webpacker. For Symfony, try Symfony's webpack Encore.
-
If you need to publish a React component, nwb can also do this, as well as Neutrino's react-components preset.
-
If you want to do server rendering with React and Node.js, check out Next.js or Razzle. Create React App is agnostic of the backend, and only produces static HTML/JS/CSS bundles.
-
If your website is mostly static (for example, a portfolio or a blog), consider using Gatsby or Next.js. Unlike Create React App, Gatsby pre-renders the website into HTML at build time. Next.js supports both server rendering and pre-rendering.
-
Finally, if you need more customization, check out Neutrino and its React preset.
All of the above tools can work with little to no configuration.
If you prefer configuring the build yourself, follow this guide.
