backpack-react-scripts

backpack-react-scripts

This package is a fork of Create React App (specifically the react-scripts package). It's intended to be used in conjuction with create-react-app like so:

# we still rely on facebooks global `create-react-app` cli
npm install -g create-react-app

# specify `backpack-react-scripts` as the scripts package to use
create-react-app my-app --scripts-version=backpack-react-scripts

# start your app development like you normally would with `create-react-app` 
cd my-app
npm start

Why fork?

Out of the box, create-react-app doesn't work well with Backpack components because it has no support for Sass stylesheets or uncompiled dependencies in the node_modules folder. We also want to be able to tailor the template to use Backpack out-the-box.

Keeping this fork updated

We wish to keep this fork updated with the upstream repo to benefit from the ongoing open source development of create-react-app. Please follow the steps outlined in this guide to keep this fork up to date e.g:

git remote add upstream [e-mail]:facebookincubator/create-react-app.git
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master

You will most likely run into merge conflicts during this process. If so, please take care to fix them whilst preserving the custom functionality we have added in the fork.

Releasing a new version of backpack-react-scripts

Please refer to the CONTRIBUTING.md in the root of this repo. All other packages have had their
package.json's modified to be private therefore they won't be published to the npm registry.
