Create React WP Theme
Up To Date!
Apr. 15, 2020Facebook recently released v3.4.1 of Create-React-App.
And now
create-react-wptheme
is up-to-date.If you have a theme made with an earlier version of
create-react-wptheme
and want to update it to the latest code, just follow these instructions.Getting Started
Michael Soriano is writing a tutorial for creating a theme using React. He usescreate-react-wptheme
for the initial setup. He provides a lot more detail than this readme
and the screen shots are really helpful.Check it out:
Let's build a WordPress theme with React: Part 1 (Setup)
See the full README on Github.
Goals
- Remove WebPackDevServer and use your WordPress dev server instead.
- Also, do not proxy the WordPress server.
- Thus removing CORS as a concern.
- Maintain feature parity(ish) with
create-react-app
- Touch the original
react-scripts
as little as possible.
- Add new files where possible.
- This will make merges easier.

I used this as an example for writing my own plugin for watching changes to the create-react-app "public" folder.
