What is create react app?

hai guys, this is my first post in dev.to and i will talk about what is create react app?

anyway, when i learn about react library for making a website, i was very confuse about what is create react app? is it just a react library tools or it's a standard to create web app using react?

after i search and talk to my friends, i got the answer. create react app is a tool for make website using react much easier. it means, you didn't have to make the configuration like file, component, css and etc. the next question, is it another tool for making react web app? yes, i just find in community that tools called vite. vite is same with create react app, vite and create react app using webpack for bundling your react web app file (css, js and etc).

first thing when you want make react app, make sure you have node js in your environment. you can check this node website for install.

after that, you can choose tool for make react app (create react app or vite)

how you initialize react using create react app.
npx create-react-app your-app-name

if you want to use vite, you can run this command.
yarn create vite
after you run this command, you have to fill project name, and choose what library/framework you want to use it.

so that all from me, feel free if you want discuss about it and thank you :)
