# Create React App [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/facebookincubator/create-react-app.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/facebookincubator/create-react-app)
22

3-
### ⚠️ Disclaimer:
4-
> This is **not** a fork of ```create-react-app```. It's just a fork of ```react-scripts``` with simple babel/webpack modifications that can toggle extra features.
3+
Create React apps with no build configuration.
54

6-
The reason for this fork's existence is explained better in [this Medium article](https://medium.com/@kitze/configure-create-react-app-without-ejecting-d8450e96196a).

### 💡Features:
9-
* Decorators
10-
* babel-preset-stage-0
11-
* LESS
12-
* SASS
13-
* CSS modules
8+
## tl;dr
149

15-
**the features are optional and can be turned on/off individually*
10+
```sh
11+
npm install -g create-react-app
1612

17-
### ❔How to use it
18-
```create-react-app my-app --scripts-version custom-react-scripts```
13+
create-react-app my-app
14+
cd my-app/
15+
npm start
1916

20-
Modify the ```.env``` file in the root of the generated project, and add any of the configuration options below 👇 to enable that feature.
17+
```
2118

22-
The generated project comes with SASS, LESS, and CSS modules support by default, but you can remove them at any time by removing the options from the ```.env``` file.
19+
Then open [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) to see your app.<br>
20+
When you’re ready to deploy to production, create a minified bundle with `npm run build`.

34-
- ```REACT_APP_DECORATORS=true``` - enable decorators support
26+
### Installation
3527

36-
> ⚠️ Please note that the Babel features are highly experimental (especially stage-0) and still not a part of the ES specification.
37-
> Use them at your own risk of breaking backwards compatibility if they don't make the final version of the spec.
28+
Install it once globally:
3829

39-
#### Others
40-
- ```PORT=3015``` - change default port (supported in CRA by default)
41-
- ```OPEN_BROWSER=false``` - don't open browser after running webpack server
30+
```sh
31+
npm install -g create-react-app
32+
```
4233

43-
### 🤔 Why?
44-
The ```create-react-app``` app doesn't allow user configuration and modifications for few reasons:
34+
**You’ll need to have Node >= 4 on your machine**.
4535

46-
* Some of the babel presets and plugins that people might use are experimental. If they're used in a project and then they don't make it in the ES spec, they will break backwards compatibility.
47-
* It's hard to maintain code for all of these custom configurations that people want to use.
36+
**We strongly recommend to use Node >= 6 and npm >= 3 for faster installation speed and better disk usage.** You can use [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#usage) to easily switch Node versions between different projects.
4837

49-
But people still want to use some of these features, and they're either ejecting their CRA app, or just don't use ```create-react-app``` because they're *just* missing **X** feature.
38+
**This tool doesn’t assume a Node backend**. The Node installation is only required for the build tools that rely on it locally, such as Webpack and Babel.
5039

51-
So instead of [searching npm](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=react-scripts) for a ```react-scripts``` fork with the **X** feature you need, this fork provides support for all of these extra features with simply adding a line in the ```.env``` config.
40+
### Creating an App
5241

53-
### How does it work?
54-
The CRA team recently [added support](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#adding-development-environment-variables-in-env) for an ```.env``` file in the root of the generated CRA project.
42+
To create a new app, run:
5543

56-
From the original readme:
57-
> To define permanent environment vairables, create a file called .env in the root of your project:
58-
> REACT_APP_SECRET_CODE=abcdef
44+
```sh
45+
create-react-app my-app
46+
cd my-app
47+
```
5948

60-
I just added support for extra environment variables that actually turn on certain plugins, babel plugins, presets, and loaders in the webpack and babel configs of ```react-scripts```.
49+
It will create a directory called `my-app` inside the current folder.<br>
50+
Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure and install the transitive dependencies:

I will put all of my efforts into supporting this fork to be always on par with features with the newest ```create-react-app``` and ```react-scripts``` versions.
70+
No configuration or complicated folder structures, just the files you need to build your app.<br>
71+
Once the installation is done, you can run some commands inside the project folder:
72+
73+
### `npm start`
74+
75+
Runs the app in development mode.<br>
76+
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to view it in the browser.
77+
78+
The page will reload if you make edits.<br>
79+
You will see the build errors and lint warnings in the console.
80+
81+

82+
83+
### `npm test`
84+
85+
Runs the test watcher in an interactive mode.
86+
By default, runs tests related to files changes since the last commit.
87+
88+
[Read more about testing.](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#running-tests)
89+
90+
### `npm run build`
91+
92+
Builds the app for production to the `build` folder.<br>
93+
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
94+
95+
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.<br>
96+
Your app is ready to be deployed!

## How to Update to New Versions?
126+
127+
Please refer to the [User Guide](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#updating-to-new-releases) for this and other information.
128+
129+
## Philosophy
130+
131+
* **One Dependency:** There is just one build dependency. It uses Webpack, Babel, ESLint, and other amazing projects, but provides a cohesive curated experience on top of them.
132+
133+
* **Zero Configuration:** There are no configuration files or command line options. Configuring both development and production builds is handled for you so you can focus on writing code.
134+
135+
* **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.
136+
137+
## Why Use This?
138+
139+
**If you’re getting started** with React, use `create-react-app` to automate the build of your app. There is no configuration file, and `react-scripts` is the only extra build dependency in your `package.json`. Your environment will have everything you need to build a modern React app:
140+
141+
* React, JSX, and ES6 support.
142+
* Language extras beyond ES6 like the object spread operator.
143+
* A dev server that lints for common errors.
144+
* Import CSS and image files directly from JavaScript.
145+
* Autoprefixed CSS, so you don’t need `-webkit` or other prefixes.
146+
* A `build` script to bundle JS, CSS, and images for production, with sourcemaps.
147+
148+
**The feature set is intentionally limited**. It doesn’t support advanced features such as server rendering or CSS modules. The tool is also **non-configurable** because it is hard to provide a cohesive experience and easy updates across a set of tools when the user can tweak anything.
149+
150+
**You don’t have to use this.** Historically it has been easy to [gradually adopt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF58ZJ1ZQxY) React. However many people create new single-page React apps from scratch every day. We’ve heard [loud](https://medium.com/@ericclemmons/javascript-fatigue-48d4011b6fc4) and [clear](https://twitter.com/thomasfuchs/status/708675139253174273) that this process can be error-prone and tedious, especially if this is your first JavaScript build stack. This project is an attempt to figure out a good way to start developing React apps.
151+
152+
### Converting to a Custom Setup
153+
154+
**If you’re a power user** and you aren’t happy with the default configuration, you can “eject” from the tool and use it as a boilerplate generator.
155+
156+
Running `npm run eject` copies all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. Commands like `npm start` and `npm run build` will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point, you’re on your own.
157+
158+
**Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you `eject`, you can’t go back!**
159+
160+
You don’t have to ever use `eject`. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
161+
162+
## Limitations
163+
164+
Some features are currently **not supported**:
165+
166+
* Server rendering.
167+
* Some experimental syntax extensions (e.g. decorators).
168+
* CSS Modules.
169+
* LESS or Sass.
170+
* Hot reloading of components.
171+
172+
Some of them might get added in the future if they are stable, are useful to majority of React apps, don’t conflict with existing tools, and don’t introduce additional configuration.
173+
174+
## What’s Inside?
175+
176+
The tools used by Create React App are subject to change.
177+
Currently it is a thin layer on top of many amazing community projects, such as:
178+
179+
* [webpack](https://webpack.github.io/) with [webpack-dev-server](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server), [html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/ampedandwired/html-webpack-plugin) and [style-loader](https://github.com/webpack/style-loader)
180+
* [Babel](http://babeljs.io/) with ES6 and extensions used by Facebook (JSX, [object spread](https://github.com/sebmarkbage/ecmascript-rest-spread/commits/master), [class properties](https://github.com/jeffmo/es-class-public-fields))
181+
* [Autoprefixer](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer)
182+
* [ESLint](http://eslint.org/)
183+
* [Jest](http://facebook.github.io/jest)
184+
* and others.
185+
186+
All of them are transitive dependencies of the provided npm package.
