Create React App lets you create a modern build setup for your React apps in no time. You install the tool and focus on just building your actual app.
Update
It is no longer necessary (or recommended) to install Create React App globally. Instead, you should use the npx
command to create the "search-app" project used in this workshop with a single command:
npx create-react-app search-app
If you have previously installed Create React App globally you should uninstall it as recommended in this documentation.
NPX is a package runner that is included with NPM, as of version 5.2. It makes it easy to install and run packages, especially command-line tools like Create React App.
Learn more about npx
here, or see npx
in action in this Treehouse video.
