A tool that lets you override create-react-app's webpack configuration without ejecting or forking react-scripts. You provide a config-overrides.js file that modifies the webpack config, keeping CRA's benefits while adding plugins and loaders.

Use cases

• customize webpack config in create-react-app without ejecting
• add custom webpack loaders to a CRA project
• add webpack plugins to react-scripts builds
• avoid maintaining a fork of react-scripts
• extend CRA build pipeline with custom config

When to choose

• you use create-react-app and need webpack customization that CRA doesn't allow
• you want to avoid the maintenance burden of an ejected CRA app
• you need to add loaders or plugins without forking react-scripts

When to avoid

• you're starting a new project - consider Next.js or Razzle which support custom webpack natively
• you want official CRA support - overriding configs breaks CRA's guarantees
• you use CRA 2.0+ and want actively maintained alternatives like craco, customize-cra, or Rescripts
