create-react-wptheme v3.4.1-wp.1

Create React WP Theme

Up To Date!

Apr. 15, 2020 Facebook recently released v3.4.1 of Create-React-App.

And now create-react-wptheme is up-to-date. If you have a theme made with an earlier version of create-react-wptheme and want to update it to the latest code, just follow these instructions.

Getting Started

Michael Soriano is writing a tutorial for creating a theme using React. He uses create-react-wptheme for the initial setup. He provides a lot more detail than this readme and the screen shots are really helpful.

Check it out: Let's build a WordPress theme with React: Part 1 (Setup)

See the full README on Github.

Goals

• Remove WebPackDevServer and use your WordPress dev server instead.
  • Also, do not proxy the WordPress server.
  • Thus removing CORS as a concern.
• Maintain feature parity(ish) with create-react-app
• Touch the original react-scripts as little as possible.
  • Add new files where possible.
  • This will make merges easier.

Acknowledgements

I'm grateful to the authors of existing related projects for their ideas and collaboration:

• create-react-app

  The original.

• filewatcher-webpack-plugin

  I used this as an example for writing my own plugin for watching changes to the create-react-app "public" folder.
