The most common way of spinning up a React application is probably using create-react-app. We’ll be using Vite (pronounced like “veet”) instead. But fret not, it’s just as simple — but more efficient.

Look at the most recent code change, the 5.0.1 release. It's simply a maintenance release and fixes a few bugs. This was almost a year ago, which is quite long in the JS world. We're not writing Rust where things are infinitely backward compatible (and even that has outdated packages). Other PRs are not being merged either, except for documentation ones.

We'll be using Vite to develop our app, but you can also use Create React App or any other tool you like. To scaffold a new React app with Vite you need to do:

If I choose React as a used framework, Ionic’s boilerplate is based on Create React App. Because of it I want a tool which edits Webpack’s configuration without ejecting CRA’s configuration.

Create react app + Craco

Both frameworks use ReactJS library for building user interfaces (UIs). This means that developers who are familiar with ReactJS library will find it easy to use either of these frameworks to build applications.

First, we need to set up our project with create-react-app. Run the following command:

It's been only loosely maintained over the last couple years. Also, despite the `facebook` org, as far as I know the last couple maintainers were not actually Facebook employees.

See this discussion thread from a couple years ago:

I was just scanning the repo for create-react-app and see the main branch hasn't been commit to since the beginning of September.

Does anyone have any insight if the project is no longer being maintained?
