> Note: this feature is available with `react-scripts@3.3.0` and higher.
Custom Templates enable you to select a template to create your project from, while still retaining all of the features of Create React App.
You'll notice that Custom Templates are always named in the format `cra-template-[template-name]`, however you only need to provide the `[template-name]` to the creation command.
Scoped templates are also supported, under the name `@[scope-name]/cra-template` or `@[scope-name]/cra-template-[template-name]`, which can be installed via `@[scope]` and `@[scope]/[template-name]` respectively.
However, you can find many great community templates by searching for ["cra-template-\*"](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=cra-template-*) on npm.
## Building a template
If you're interested in building a custom template, first take a look at how we've built [`cra-template`](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/tree/master/packages/cra-template).
This is the configuration file for your template. As this is a new feature, more options will be added over time. For now, only a `package` key is supported.
The `package` key lets you provide any keys/values that you want added to the new project's `package.json`, such as dependencies and any custom scripts that your template relies on.
Any values you add for `"dependencies"` and `"scripts"` will be merged with the Create React App defaults. Values for any other keys will be used as-is, replacing any matching Create React App defaults.
For convenience, we always replace `npm run` with `yarn` in your custom `"scripts"`, as well as in your `README` when projects are initialized with yarn.
