Create React App Parcel π©
create react apps with parcel instead of webpack cos why not
Preconfigured Features that come with your Parcel setup:
- babel-preset-react-app so you can use the exact same JS features that come with create-react-app (eg public class fields)
- improved
App.js
to show off the babel preset features (click on the React logo!) - serviceWorker available but off by default (similar to the coming create-react-app 2.0 setup)
- preconfigured build setup based on the ParcelJS API
- nice eject experience that doesnt saddle you with a million webpack plugins
- as far as possible, same DX as create-react-app (eg checks if you use
yarn
ornpm
, environment variables all the same)- in particular it's a fork of create-react-app v2.0 so you also get features like babel-plugin-macros for free! π₯
Using C.R.A.P.
npx create-react-app-parcel my-app
## or install it:
# npm i -g create-react-app-parcel
# crap my-app
cd my-app
yarn start
and presto! (try clicking the react icon)
C.R.A.P. structure
You will have a very simple folder structure, same as create-react-app
:
my-app
βββ README.md
βββ node_modules
βββ package.json
βββ .gitignore
βββ public
β βββ favicon.ico
β βββ index.html
β βββ manifest.json
βββ src
βββ App.css
βββ App.js
βββ App.test.js
βββ index.css
βββ index.js
βββ logo.svg
βββ registerServiceWorker.js
No configuration or complicated folder structures, just the files you need to build your app.
