Clean Installation

The setup for this project is a bit overkill, so lets pair it down a bit


Removing Files

I'm going to get rid of several files we won't be using on this project.

public/logo192.png
public/logo512.png
public/manifest.json
public/robots.txt
src/App.css
src/App.test.js
src/logo.svg
src/reportWebVitals.js
src/setupTests.js

We'll need to make some modifications to the following

public/index.html
src/App.js
src/index.js

Index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>React App</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <noscript>You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.</noscript>
    <div id="root"></div>
  </body>
</html>

Remove

<link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />

<meta name="theme-color" content="#000000" />
<meta
  name="description"
  content="Web site created using create-react-app"
/>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/logo192.png" />
<!--
  manifest.json provides metadata used when your web app is installed on a
  user's mobile device or desktop. See https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-app-manifest/
-->
<link rel="manifest" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/manifest.json" />
<!--
  Notice the use of %PUBLIC_URL% in the tags above.
  It will be replaced with the URL of the `public` folder during the build.
  Only files inside the `public` folder can be referenced from the HTML.

  Unlike "/favicon.ico" or "favicon.ico", "%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" will
  work correctly both with client-side routing and a non-root public URL.
  Learn how to configure a non-root public URL by running `npm run build`.
-->

<!--
  This HTML file is a template.
  If you open it directly in the browser, you will see an empty page.

  You can add webfonts, meta tags, or analytics to this file.
  The build step will place the bundled scripts into the <body> tag.

  To begin the development, run `npm start` or `yarn start`.
  To create a production bundle, use `npm run build` or `yarn build`.
-->

Index.js

Remove

import reportWebVitals from './reportWebVitals';


// If you want to start measuring performance in your app, pass a function
// to log results (for example: reportWebVitals(console.log))
// or send to an analytics endpoint. Learn more: https://bit.ly/CRA-vitals
reportWebVitals();

App.js

Remove

import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';

<header className="App-header">
  <img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" />
  <p>
    Edit <code>src/App.js</code> and save to reload.
  </p>
  <a
    className="App-link"
    href="https://reactjs.org"
    target="_blank"
    rel="noopener noreferrer"
  >
