How to install

This project relies on react-app-rewired. You'll need to install that in order for customize-cra to work.

``bash
yarn add customize-cra react-app-rewired --dev
`

❗ Warning

Using this library will override the default behavior and configuration of create-react-app, therefore invalidating the guarantees that come with it. Use with discretion!

Overview

customize-cra takes advantage of react-app-rewired's config-overrides.js file. By importing customize-cra functions and exporting a few function calls wrapped in our override function, you can easily modify the underlying config objects (webpack, webpack-dev-server, babel, etc.) that make up create-react-app.

Usage

Note: all code should be added to config-overrides.js at the same level as package.json.

See the api docs for documentation for each function.

To use these plugins, import the override function, and call it with whatever plugins you need. Each of these plugin invocations will return a new function, that override will call with the newly modified config object. Falsy values will be ignored though, so if you need to conditionally apply any of these plugins, you can do so like below.

For example:

`js
const {
override,
addDecoratorsLegacy,
disableEsLint,
addBundleVisualizer,
addWebpackAlias,
adjustWorkbox
} = require("customize-cra");
const path = require("path");

module.exports = override(
// enable legacy decorators babel plugin
addDecoratorsLegacy(),

// disable eslint in webpack
disableEsLint(),

// add webpack bundle visualizer if BUNDLE_VISUALIZE flag is enabled
process.env.BUNDLE_VISUALIZE == 1 && addBundleVisualizer(),

// add an alias for "ag-grid-react" imports
addWebpackAlias({
["ag-grid-react$"]: path.resolve(__dirname, "src/shared/agGridWrapper.js")
}),

// adjust the underlying workbox
adjustWorkbox(wb =>
Object.assign(wb, {
skipWaiting: true,
exclude: (wb.exclude || []).concat("index.html")
})
)
);
`

You can use the overrideDevServer function to override the webpack-dev-server config. It works the same way as override:

`js
const {
override,
disableEsLint,
overrideDevServer,
watchAll
} = require("customize-cra");

module.exports = {
webpack: override(
// usual webpack plugin
disableEsLint()
),
devServer: overrideDevServer(
// dev server plugin
watchAll()
)
};
`

If you want CRA 2 to work with MobX, use the addDecoratorsLegacy and disableEsLint.
