Too Long; Didn't Read
In between graduate school and other things, I have been digging deeper into the <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/javascript" target="_blank">JavaScript</a> ecosystem. As a person who loves React, I got curious with <em>create-react-app</em>. With a simple <em>npm install -g create-react-app</em> on your command line, you will be able to install the most popular React starter pack. However, have you ever wondered how <em>create-react-app</em> works? Or how they make these apps run fast on the browser with relatively smaller network requests? Maybe perhaps how bundling and generating static files happens after running <em>npm run build</em>? These things are intriguing. Under the veil of magic these open source projects carry are simple lines of code that you and I can learn and understand.
