timarney/react-app-rewired

This system is a configuration override tool for Create React App that enables users to customize webpack, Jest, and development server settings without ejecting. It provides CLI entry points and wrapper scripts that dynamically load modular overrides from a dedicated directory, allowing for flexible environment-specific adjustments. The tool ensures compatibility with modern React versions by handling configuration merging and JSX runtime detection.

The project now includes executable scripts in the \bin\ directory to handle command-line interactions. \bin/index.js\ acts as the main entry point, routing CLI arguments (such as \build\, \start\, \test\, and \eject\) to the corresponding internal scripts while properly handling node arguments and process signals. Additionally, \bin/jest.js\ provides a specialized entry point for running tests, designed to work as a drop-in replacement for \react-scripts\ with WebStorm's test runner by stripping the \--config\ parameter and detecting IntelliJ-specific environments to set the \CI\ flag.

The project now provides wrapper scripts (build.js, start.js, test.js) that allow users to customize internal configuration without ejecting. These scripts load custom overrides for paths, webpack, dev server, and Jest configurations from the 'overrides' directory before invoking the original react-scripts commands, enabling flexible environment-specific adjustments.

The configuration files in the config directory (paths, webpack, and webpackDevServer) have been updated to dynamically load their settings from the corresponding files in the overrides directory. This change allows users to customize the build and development server behavior by providing override files, rather than editing the core configuration directly.

This release updates the library for Create React App 2.0 compatibility by removing the legacy rewire helper functions (such as \compose\, \injectBabelPlugin\, and \getBabelLoader\), which now throw deprecation errors directing users to \customize-cra\. It introduces a new configuration structure in \config-overrides.js\ that supports an object export with distinct functions for \webpack\, \jest\, \devServer\, and \paths\, allowing users to customize testing, development server, and path configurations in addition to the standard webpack build. The default entry point (\index.js\) now exposes these deprecation warnings and the \paths\ utility, while the documentation has been updated to reflect the new setup instructions and alternative tools.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The test runner now correctly handles Jest configuration overrides from package.json, ensuring that primitive values (booleans, numbers, strings) are properly overwritten rather than ignored, and that arrays and objects are merged as expected. Additionally, the Babel transformer for tests automatically detects and supports the new React JSX runtime, allowing tests to run correctly with modern React versions while remaining compatible with the classic runtime when needed.

scripts/utils · high confidence

The overrides module now correctly handles the \--scripts-version\ and \--config-overrides\ command-line arguments when running tests. Previously, passing these arguments could cause the test script to fail because Create React App's internal config loader did not recognize them. The new implementation in \overrides/jest.js\ strips these custom arguments from the process arguments before invoking the original test script, while still applying the necessary configuration overrides in memory for webpack, paths, dev server, and Jest.

Added a Create React App test environment; Added test suite for React application component.

This change introduces the initial version (2.2.1) of the react-app-rewired package, which allows users to tweak Create React App webpack configurations without ejecting. The package defines a CLI binary (\react-app-rewired\) and lists \semver\ as a runtime dependency, while requiring \react-scripts\ version 2.1.3 or higher as a peer dependency. A test application (\test/react-app\) is also included to demonstrate usage, depending on \react-scripts\ 2.1.3 and \customize-cra\ 0.2.11.
