Change the name of the "static" folder in build?

[tborenst]

Is there a way to change the name of the static folder produced when you run npm run build? That includes the name of the folder itself as well as references to it in the index.html file generated.

Thanks!

Hi @tborenst, please see if #786 and #778 help you?

[tborenst]

Sorry, I didn't see those. Thank you. Ended up writing a simple script for it.

react-scripts build && mv build docs

Assuming docs is the new directory.

I'd like to know, if there is now some way to handle this?
The previous answer by @abdennour just changes the name of the generated 'build' folder, but not the name and all references of the 'static' folder.

@tborenst How did you end up doing it, if I may ask?
Having the same problem and I can't change all the font/img/asset references in css & js every time.

Sorry for digging up this thread.
Thanks in advance.

I have this problem too and there is no obvious work around since the folder referenced in many places.

@gaearon Would it be acceptable, if I tried opening a PR to make static folder configurable via an environment variable?

This would be very helpful in some situations...

For instance, when setting the GKE ingress paths for sub-directory you need to specify both the subdirectory path /myapp1 AND /static. I'm struggling to figure out how to host two different CRA's when they both insist on /static.

I'm several hours into digging through K8 docs when a rename would fix the issue in about three minutes...
