To update create-react-app to the latest stable version without specifying the exact version, we can use the @latest tag. Here’s the command to do so:
sudo npm install -g create-react-app@latest
- -g: This flag installs the package globally, making it accessible system-wide.
- @latest: Ensures that the most recent stable version of create-react-app is installed.
Updating an Existing Project:
If we are updating an existing project (not the global CLI), we need to update the react-scripts dependency instead. Run the following command in the project’s root directory:
npm install react-scripts@latest
Important Notes:
- After updating, it is essential to thoroughly test the application, as major version updates can include breaking changes.
- For detailed information on changes or migration steps, refer to the official React release notes.
