CRACO (Create React App Configuration Override) is a configuration layer for Create React App that lets you customize Webpack, Babel, ESLint, PostCSS, Jest, and dev server settings without ejecting. It works via a single craco.config.js file at the project root and a CLI that wraps react-scripts commands, plus a plugin API.
Use cases
- customize webpack config in create-react-app without ejecting
- add babel plugins or presets to a CRA project
- override eslint or postcss settings in CRA
- customize jest config in a create-react-app app
- avoid ejecting while keeping CRA project structure
- share CRA customizations as reusable craco plugins
When to choose
- you use Create React App 5 and need config changes beyond CRA's supported options
- you want CRA's simplicity but need to tweak webpack, babel, or jest
- you want to avoid the maintenance burden of an ejected CRA project
When to avoid
- you have ejected your CRA project and manage configs directly
- you're starting a new project - modern toolchains like Vite or Next.js are better supported
- you need support for older CRA versions or want actively maintained tooling, since CRA itself is deprecated
