react-scripts 5.0.1

React-Scripts is an integral package for the Create-React-App command line tool. It equips the tool with scripts and configuration settings that are instrumental in creating new React applications. Notably, react-scripts abstracts the complexities of developing and setting up a React application, enabling developers to create apps without directly configuring tools like Webpack and Babel.

Utilizing react-scripts is straightforward. When you use Create-React-App to set up a new project, react-scripts is installed and added to your package.json file under "scripts." Here's a simple illustration:

1. Install Create-React-App globally and set up a new project as shown below:

npx create-react-app my-app

2. After setting up the project, navigate into the directory of your new project:

cd my-app

3. In the package.json file, check the "scripts" section. You'll observe that react-scripts is configured for starting, building, and testing your application:

"scripts": {
  "start": "react-scripts start",
  "build": "react-scripts build",
  "test": "react-scripts test",
  "eject": "react-scripts eject"
}

4. To start the app, use npm (or yarn) to run the start script:

npm start

Doing this runs the app in development mode, where react-scripts start executes.

You can find comprehensive documentation about React-Scripts in the user guide and getting started sections of the Create-React-App website. This documentation will provide you with in-depth details on starting, developing, testing, and building applications using react-scripts.
