create REACT project

I am creating an enterprise app with many, many react.js apps, angular.js apps, android apps etc...

If I use :

npm install -g create-react-app

It gives me a project with a size of 100MB or less. I don't need most of the libraries in this sample. I just want to create react app with 10MB maximum size.

What should I do to get a very simple project with the minimum amount of dependencies in React, the simple project that programmers can understand and read easily is my first priority.

create-react-app is development build of the app, so it will be really hard to get the size to under 10MB. But the production build of the same will be really small. If you create the production build of the default create-react-app it will be around 600-700 kB.

This is because create-react-app development build contains babel, webpack and all which makes your coding experience a lot better. When it is build for production, webpack and other dev-dependencies will be removed. I would suggest you not to worry much about the size of the development build and concentrate more on the size only for the production build. And since you said simple project that programmers can understand and read easily is my first priority, create-react-app will take away most of the complications associated with setting up a react app from scratch, such as configuring dev-server and babel.
