CRACO stands for: Create React App Configuration Override. This boilerplate is created with CRA to get all the
benefits from react-scripts. The issue with CRA configured projects it's that, although they offer many out of the box
settings, if you want to make some custom tweaks to your project it might be a little difficult. The only official
way is by ejecting CRA's config and handle everything manually. This way if something is broken in react-scripts and
gets patched you will lose the ability to accept this package patch, due to the nature of ejecting.
So to avoid this and also have the flexibility of configuring the project at will there are several packages that let you extend the base configuration and also override it without ejecting. Some of them are: react-app-rewired, customize-cra, Rescripts, react-scripts-rewired and CRACO. We have chosen this last one because is currently maintained and supports CRA 5.
