customize-cra is a set of utilities for overriding webpack, webpack-dev-server, and babel configurations of create-react-app 2 and 3 without ejecting. It builds on react-app-rewired's config-overrides.js mechanism and composes customizer functions via an override helper.

Use cases

• customize webpack config in create-react-app without ejecting
• add webpack aliases to a CRA project
• enable legacy decorators in create-react-app
• add a less loader to create-react-app
• disable eslint in the CRA webpack build
• add a bundle visualizer to a CRA build
• adjust workbox service worker settings in CRA

When to choose

• you use create-react-app 2 or 3 and need webpack or babel tweaks without ejecting
• you want composable, declarative config overrides via config-overrides.js
• you already use react-app-rewired and want higher-level helpers

When to avoid

• you use create-react-app 4 or 5 where the library is not maintained against newer configs
• you have migrated to Vite, Next.js, or other tooling with native config options
• you need guaranteed CRA upgrade compatibility, since overriding invalidates CRA's guarantees
