Switch to npm for create-react-app

Question

I recently installed yarn on my machine but was using npm before. For my current project in React I want to use npm again.

However, if I run create-react-app it is built with yarn.

How can I switch so that it is created with npm?

You can use the --use-npm flag:

create-react-app my-project --use-npm

If it's an existing project you can just remove yarn.lock and continue using it with npm.

Likewise, if you want to move from npm to yarn, just delete package-lock.json and use yarn
