Description

Provides a simple, no frills way to integrate react-refresh into your create-react-app using customize-cra and @pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin.

Installation

1. Install dependencies

   npm install -D react-app-rewired customize-cra customize-cra-react-refresh

2. Create or update your config-overrides.js

   const { override } = require("customize-cra");
   const { addReactRefresh } = require("customize-cra-react-refresh");
   
   /* config-overrides.js */
   module.exports = override(addReactRefresh());
      

3. 'Flip' the existing calls to react-scripts in npm scripts for start, build and test

     /* package.json */
   
     "scripts": {
   -   "start": "react-scripts start",
   +   "start": "react-app-rewired start",
   -   "build": "react-scripts build",
   +   "build": "react-app-rewired build",
   -   "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
   +   "test": "react-app-rewired test --env=jsdom",
       "eject": "react-scripts eject"
   }
