Will Create React App be updated in the future?

[narukeu]

I noticed that this project has not been updated for almost a year, and the official React documentation no longer mentions using Create React App to create React projects. I'm wondering if Create React App will still receive updates in the future?

If it will no longer receive updates in the future, or enters a so-called "maintenance mode", then I will use other frameworks to develop my React projects.

I have read a few times that CRA is no longer actively maintained, but not through official channels. CRA is also no longer mentioned in the React documentation. We have since moved away from CRA and switched to Vite. The move was relatively straight forward.

[GersonDias]

yeah, I also did that move, using Vite now. :)

Where I can see the vite documentation now the react docs does not have vite in it, it only has Next and remix in it.

Thanks I really appreciate your reply 😊

Create React App is pretty much dead, and the whole framework-design isn’t state of the art anymore.

I recommend everyone to run away as soon as possible from Create React App, unless you are trapped into a legacy codebase.

I think this issue not being addressed since 2 months has it's implications.
If there were any plans to continue development on CRA, I would expect an

or something like that.
