undo 'npm run eject' in react

Question

I was trying to test the performance of my React app(created with create-react-app) with react CDN script and i did 'npm run eject' to add webpack externals dependencies react and react-dom.

I did that with ease in webpack config and <script> in index.html

...
externals: {
    react: 'React',
    'react-dom':'ReactDOM'
},
...

Now I want to revert it back to previous state

I am using git and i did this experiment in a seperate branch.

I ran git checkout master and npm start

The result was annoying

> myapp@0.18.1 start /home/code/serverSync/myapp/ui
> react-scripts start

sh: 1: react-scripts: not found

Answer 1

After trying Ashok answer I tried with the answer of @Ritwick Dey also.

npm delete node_modules
npm install

After that I just replaced this code from the top of packaje.json file

"scripts": {
    "start": "react-native start",
    "android": "react-native run-android",
    "ios": "react-native run-ios",
    "web": "expo start --web"
  },

With this code in packaje.json

 "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",
    "android": "expo start --android",
    "ios": "expo start --ios",
    "web": "expo start --web",
    "eject": "expo eject"
  },

Then npm start worked and the QR code is now being showed

Answer 2

If you're in now master branch (Which configuration is same as before npm run eject), then try following.

• Delete node_module
• npm install
• npm start

Answer 3

You can undo the "eject" operation of a Create React App app by adding the react-scripts package back. Command yarn or npm based on Your favorite Package manager

What you did:

$ yarn run eject/ npm run eject 
? Are you sure you want to eject? This action is permanent. (Yes/No)Yes

Now Solution for it is to:-

$ rm -r scripts/  //Remove Your scripts folder 
$ rm -r config/   //Remove Your config folder
$ rm -r node_modules//  //Remove Your node_modules folder

And Add react-scripts package back using

$ yarn add react-scripts / npm install react-scripts 

And inside the package.json file you'll need to change the "scripts" to their former state:

"scripts": {
+    "start": "react-scripts start",                 
+    "build": "react-scripts build",                 
+    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",       
+    "eject": "react-scripts eject"                  
-    "start": "node scripts/start.js",               
-    "build": "node scripts/build.js",                
-    "test": "node scripts/test.js --env=jsdom"      
  }

Now install all dependency using:-

  $ yarn install / npm install 

And You are good to go

$ yarn start / npm start

You made it.....
