Create React App From Template

Create React apps by using custom templates. This is a wrapper of create-react-app so you can use all its power here. See the create-react-app user guide for more details.

Install

You must have create-react-app installed. Craft would verfiy and warn you in case create-react-app is not present.

npm install -g @isfco/craft

Usage

$ craft <project-directory> <template-url> [options]

  Options:

    -V, --version  output the version number
    -h, --help     output usage information

template-url must be a remote github repository URL.

Template

There is no assumptions on the template scaffolding. It can be literally anything. All the content will be merged with the files generated by default for create-react-app and overwritten in case your template has files with the same names, except for node_modules, package.json, package-lock.json, .git files and folders. They will be skept.

If your template contains a package.json file, the scripts and dependecies will be merged with the one generated for the app. All other sections won't be included.
