Guys, on many occasions when using my system, it takes between 12 to 15 minutes (yes I time them) to generate a fresh React-app, is this ideal, or just my system, or network?

It isn't ideal at all

Might be your Laptop specs, or possibly your Network speed

Either your system uses HDD or network

So, what's the "standard" time to "create-react-app", hoping system and network are great?

I think it depends on your network strength but I assume it shouldn't take more than 4 - 7 mins. I remember one time "npm create-react-app" took nearly thirty minutes and still didn't install the packages. I searched online for solutions and I found Yarn. The same process took ~5mins and I haven't looked back since then. I heard npx is sometimes faster so you might want to try that.

30min' - seriously?

npx create-react-app ... is what I use.

Which "yarn" command 'prompt' do you use?

yarn create-react-app <project_name> (is this what you meant?)

Most likely network. you can copy exist app, change it name and configure module

Babtunz:


yarn create-react-app <project_name> (is this what you meant?)

I use "npx create-react-app...", guess it's the same thing, but yours is "yarn"

I've thought of doing this. Any documentation to get up to speed on this, or will you be kind to explain the steps?

1. You could create react app manually without using npm, yarn

2. what you ask!
*Copy public, src and packagedotjson of existing app
* change app name inside packagejson
*go to your terminal inside your project directory(containing packagjson) and run > npm install or yarn install to install require packages

Nb: You will not get other files like service workers, logo etc that npx create react app gives you

Nice one. Hope the install won't download from online as if "installing" a new React app?!

it is faster

All right. Well done for the heads-up.
