How to create an app with react 17.x version instead of the latest react 18?

[CaptainJon]

Recently I have been bothered by keeping changing the version of react and react-dom into version 17.x after using the npx create-react-app command, coz the created project will use react 18 by default which is not what I am looking for. Is there any way the users can choose React version before initing project?

wouldn't it be better if users could answer some questions while initing an application like vue-cli to custimize?

would be nice to at least choose the major version I want and have something simple, like:
npx create-react-app -v17 my-app

Is there any way to solve this problem now
