cra-template-please v2.0.0

cra-template-please

My personal template for Create React App.

Read about the features of this template here.

This template is useful for creating:

✓ React web apps
✓ Non-React web apps
✓ Web-based experiments
✓ Testing grounds for new libraries

Usage

This assumes I have already configured my computer.

To scaffold an app, use:

cra {name_of_app}

To create an app in the current directory, use:

cra .

New App Checklist

When building an application, there are a couple of things I need to do after installing the template.

• Search for the string ~~TEMPLATE~~ and change those values.
• Add a favicon. I typically use this app.

Configuring My Computer

Create an alias for cra:

alias cra="npx create-react-app --template cra-template-please"

Developing

I can test changes to this template without publishing using this command:

npx create-react-app --template file:./cra-template-please my-app
