Are you sick of react-scripts vulnerability warnings when using it?

And running npm audit fix --force just creates more problems?

Try R3F-pack, the simplified and maintained alternative to react-scripts

It works the same, but supports only the most commonly used functionality in order to keep the tool easier to maintain to 0 vulnerabilities.

It’s easy to use since you can keep your existing project structure and workflow, and roll back to react-scripts in case you ever change your mind.

To Install R3F-Pack

First uninstall react-scripts

npm uninstall react-scripts

Next, install r3f-pack

npm install r3f-pack --save-dev

Important: Uninstall the old, before you install the new.

And next, replace the start and build commands in your existing package.jsonscripts node.

{
...
"scripts": {
- "start": "react-scripts start"…
