How to use TypeScript in `create-react-app` application?

Starting from react-scripts@2.1.0 or higher, there is a built-in support for typescript. i.e, create-react-app now supports typescript natively. You can just pass --typescript option as below

npx create-react-app my-app --typescript
or
yarn create react-app my-app --typescript

But for lower versions of react scripts, just supply --scripts-version option as react-scripts-ts while you create a new project. react-scripts-ts is a set of adjustments to take the standard create-react-app project pipeline and bring TypeScript into the mix.

Now the project layout should look like the following:

my-app/ ├─ .gitignore ├─ images.d.ts ├─ node_modules/ ├─ public/ ├─ src/ │ └─ ... ├─ package.json ├─ tsconfig.json ├─ tsconfig.prod.json ├─ tsconfig.test.json └─ tslint.json
