New create-react-app
npm install new-craNew create-react-app
If you want to create a new app named my-app then use the command below.
``bash`
npx new-cra my-app
After the installation has finished
`bash`
cd my-app
npm start
Visit http://127.0.0.1:3000
You can use a different name other than my-app if you wish. Just use that other name in place of my-app in the above commands.
E.g.,
`bash`
npx new-cra super-amazing-react-website
cd super-amazing-react-website
npm start
new-cra is occasionally updated. So, to ensure that you are using the latest version of new-cra, run,
`bash`
npx new-cra@latest
You could also update, and create at the same time, just to save time.
`bash`
npx new-cra@latest my-app
You can also create a TypeScript React project by adding the -ts flag.
`bash`
npx new-cra@latest my-app -ts
When running npx commands, you may get an error stating that it cannot find lstat.
Open a command/bash/powershell prompt and run
`bash`
npm install -g npm
New-CRA (New Create-React-APP) will build a basic React template/starter/boilerplate for you.
It uses R3F-Pack under the hood to build your production and development code.
As long as you have Node installed on your computer, you should then be able to just open a command prompt and type,
`bash``
npx new-cra my-app
And it will create a new basic React template/starter/boilerplate that you can now start developing your new application from.
Happy Hacking!
