react-scripts
Advanced tools
The react-scripts package is a set of scripts from the create-react-app starter kit that help automate the setup and management of React applications. It includes scripts for building, testing, and starting a development server, among other tasks, without the need for configuring these processes manually.
Starting a Development Server
This command starts a development server that serves your React application, enabling hot module replacement for a better development experience.
npm startBuilding the Application for Production
This command compiles the React application into static files for production deployment, optimizing the build for the best performance.
npm run buildRunning Tests
This command runs the test runner in the interactive watch mode, allowing developers to write and run tests for their components and modules.
npm testEjecting Configuration
This command will remove the single build dependency from your project, copying all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them.
npm run ejectParcel is a web application bundler that offers a similar zero-configuration experience to react-scripts but with a different approach to bundling and a focus on speed and simplicity.
Webpack is a powerful module bundler that can be used for React applications. Unlike react-scripts, it requires manual configuration, but it offers a high degree of customization and plugin support.
Vite is a build tool that significantly improves the frontend development experience. It's similar to react-scripts in providing a development server and build process, but it leverages native ES modules and is known for its fast cold server start.
Snowpack is a modern build tool for faster web development. It's comparable to react-scripts but uses a different approach, focusing on unbundled development and faster rebuilds with ESM (ES Module) support.
This package includes scripts and configuration used by Create React App.
Please refer to its documentation:
5.0.1 (2022-04-12)
Create React App 5.0.1 is a maintenance release that improves compatibility with React 18. We've also updated our templates to use createRoot and relaxed our check for older versions of Create React App.
Inside any created project that has not been ejected, run:
npm install --save --save-exact react-scripts@5.0.1
or
yarn add --exact react-scripts@5.0.1
