Embarrassing. And then they slapped me with a stupid 24 hour count down on top of it. I seriously hate this thing.

At the time(10/06/2024) of writing this article, CRA has been effectively in a semi-dead state for the past two years. It has not received any commits since last year nor has it received any important commits for the past two years in CRA commit history. Issues have been pilling and none of them are being addressed in CRA issues.

I have a silly react project that I’m working on that I made using create-react-app. By default, these kinds of projects build and run using react-scripts which uses webpack under the hood for building projects. Vite is generally known to be faster than Webpack ⚡ so I was curious about how to swap them.

What is CRA?

In this tutorial, I will walk you through building a quick static site by doing a static build using ReactJS & create-react-app, then show you how to deploy that static site on AWS using S3 buckets as well as how to cache it & add SSL certificates with CloudFront CDN & Certificate Manager.

You can learn more about Create-React-App on its documentation website.

It's time to write our second application, where there will be a list of schemes, processes, and a Workflow Designer with the ability to start a process and see its status. We will use create-react-app template to create a simple React application. Open your console and go to the folder react-example, then execute following commands:

If you're familiar with React.js, you probably know about the create react app tool. It's a great scaffolding tool that helps spin up a new project in React.js by taking care of all the boiler plate code for you. Similarly, RN (React Native) has the Expo tool that you can use to spin up a new project. So instead of:

React Setup: Ensure you have a basic React project set up. You can use tools like Create React App to streamline this process (https://create-react-app.dev/).

In this post, you'll learn how to use create-react-app (official React project scaffolding tool) to build a React application for searching Pokemon by using Poke API.

Create React App (CRA) abstracts away the complexity of configuring Webpack, Babel, and other build tools, allowing developers to focus on writing React code. It includes features such as hot module reloading for efficient development.
