Introduction

As a beginner in React.js, I used to setting up my react application using a single command line tool called create-react-app (CRA) which is a open source project developed by developers at Facebook for bootstrapping your react application and serve a simple boilerplate. But as a developer I’m always curious to understand what actually this command does ? What are the other dependencies required to serve a react application ? As a beginner I was thinking like react-scripts is the only dependency that required to build and run react app. But as I drill down more in React I get to know more about transpiler and bundler.
