FAQ

Why is it faster?

Internally create-react-app use babel to compile the javascript / typescript files of your application. By using craco-swc, you use the swc compiler to compile your app instead of babel. swc is a super fast javascript / typescript compiler written in Rust.

What is craco and why do I need it?

craco (Create React App Configuration Override) is an easy and comprehensible configuration layer for create-react-app. By using craco you can customise the create-react-app configuration without ejecting.

What are the differences with create-react-app?

• Since babel is not used, you won't be able to use the babel plugins (eg: babel-plugin-macros, babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types, ...).
• No flow support
