CRA

Run Create React App, removing extras.

Installation

This assumes several things:

1. You are running oh-my-zsh
2. You have the code shell command installed to launch VS Code
3. You have npx
4. I used this with yarn
5. Probably some other stuff

Clone the repo into your oh-my-zsh custom plugins:

git clone https://github.com/AnthonyMedina/cra.git $ZSH/custom/plugins/cra

Add this cra to the plugins array in your .zshrc:

plugins=(... cra)

Source your .zshrc to register the changes:

source ~/.zshrc

Script

if [[ -z $1 ]]; then
  echo "Please provide a name for your app"
  exit
fi

npx create-react-app $1 $2
rm -rf "$1/src/"
templates="$ZSH/custom/plugins/cra/templates"

if [[ $2 == "--typescript" ]]; then
  cp -rf "$templates/typescript/." $1
else
  cp -rf "$templates/standard/." $1
fi

code $1
cd $1
git mv -f "src/App.js" "src/app.js"
git mv -f "src/App.css" "src/app.css"
git add .
git commit -m 'use custom templates'
cd ..
