Description
Create React App provides support for custom templates from version 3.3.0. It would be cool to create a template to get started with react-redux-firebase just by installing the template.

I am willing to work on it. 🙂

This is actually something I have wanted to do since I heard of the idea, love that you are willing to work on it! You may already know about it, but generator-react-firebase start projects with pretty close to the output of create-react-app, so that might be a good source of inspiration.

Let me know if you need anything from me 😄

[harish-aka-shivi]

Thank you for the response. I will have look at the generator-react-firebase and will get started with the custom template.😊

Yup! Started on a basic template here: cra-template-rrf

Still needs plenty of work though

I went through the generator-react-firebase, It is great and gives a lot of configurability. But I am confused about how dynamic should the creation of CRA Template be:

• one option is to make a project with a static config file just like the simple Firestore example or the output of generator-react-firebase. Here the user would have to just replace the Firebase config object after installation.
• Another option is taking config values from the terminal when setting up the project and the output will vary as it happens in generator-react-firebase

Going to close since we started the other repo. I referenced the other repo in the Starting A Project section of the README of this repo
