⛔ DEPRECATED ⛔

create-react-app now supports typescript natively - read the guide for adding typescript to existing projects.

For existing react-scripts-ts users who would like to upgrade, follow this guide.

I have chosen to archive this repository, if you need to contact me, i'm on twitter @willmonk.

react-scripts-ts

Create React apps (with Typescript) with no build configuration.

• Getting Started – How to create a new app.
• User Guide – How to develop apps bootstrapped with react scripts ts.

Do you know react and want to try out typescript? Or do you know typescript and want to try out react? Get all the benefits from create-react-app but you use typescript! 🚀

Quick Overview

npx create-react-app my-app --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts
cd my-app
npm start

# or with yarn
yarn create react-app my-app --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts
cd my-app
yarn start

(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.

Migration

In general, most upgrades won't require any migration steps to work, but if you experience problems after an upgrade, please file an issue, and we'll add it to the list of migration steps below.

From <2.16.0 to >=2.16.0

Since 2.16.0, the template uses different tsconfig files for both development and production mode. For the latter, unfortunately, the path resolver is not smart enough to fall back to the basic tsconfig.json in case the expected tsconfig.prod.json is not present, so you have to create this file manually like shown here.

From <2.13.0 to >=2.13.0

Since 2.13.0, typescript is listed as a peer dependency of react-scripts-ts. For projects generated with at least this version, the init script takes care of properly installing it as dev dependency to the generated projects. Older projects require manual installation, in case you have not already done that.

Using npm:

npm i -D typescript

Using yarn:

yarn add -D typescript

From <2.5.0 to >=2.5.0

Version 2.5.0 introduces a new config file for jest, that is necessary for the tests to run. If you were previously running a version older than v2.5.0 and upgraded to v2.5.0 or newer, you need to manually add the new file, or else you'll get an error similar to this when trying to run your tests:

Test suite failed to run

{
    "messageText": "Cannot read file 'C:\\[project]\\tsconfig.test.json': ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\\[project]\\tsconfig.test.json'.",
    "category": 1,
    "code": 5012
}

To fix this, create a new file in the root of the project called tsconfig.test.json, and paste the content of this file into it. Everything should work now. For more info, please see this issue.
