How to configure the webpack configurations in create-react-app

Question

I have a question or problem. I'm using React v.16 so when I create a project I did with create-react-app that webpack is already preconfigured. And I want work with ol-cesium, and in npmjs I see that I have to:

create an alias to the goog directory. With webpack:

resolve: {
  alias: {
     'goog': path_to_goog,
  }
}  

If I dont create a webpack file show me this error:

./node_modules/olcs/AbstractSynchronizer.js
107:22-35 "export 'getUid' (imported as 'olBase') was not found in 'ol/index.js' 

How can solve it??? And what is path_to_goog ???

EDIT

Thanks to Shishir Anshuman for your help.

Now I add alias on webpack.config.dev.js and webpack.config.prod.js but some me a lot errors.

  resolve: {
    // This allows you to set a fallback for where Webpack should look for modules.
    // We placed these paths second because we want `node_modules` to "win"
    // if there are any conflicts. This matches Node resolution mechanism.
    // https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues/253
    modules: ['node_modules', paths.appNodeModules].concat(
      // It is guaranteed to exist because we tweak it in `env.js`
      process.env.NODE_PATH.split(path.delimiter).filter(Boolean)
    ),
    // These are the reasonable defaults supported by the Node ecosystem.
    // We also include JSX as a common component filename extension to support
    // some tools, although we do not recommend using it, see:
    // https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues/290
    // `web` extension prefixes have been added for better support
    // for React Native Web.
    extensions: ['.web.js', '.mjs', '.js', '.json', '.web.jsx', '.jsx'],
    alias: {

      // Support React Native Web
      // https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/08/a-glimpse-into-the-future-with-react-native-for-web/
      'react-native': 'react-native-web',
      // Ol-Cesium
      'goog': '../node_modules/olcs/goog',
    },
    plugins: [
      // Prevents users from importing files from outside of src/ (or node_modules/).
      // This often causes confusion because we only process files within src/ with babel.
      // To fix this, we prevent you from importing files out of src/ -- if you'd like to,
      // please link the files into your node_modules/ and let module-resolution kick in.
      // Make sure your source files are compiled, as they will not be processed in any way.
      new ModuleScopePlugin(paths.appSrc, [paths.appPackageJson]),
    ],
  },

In console show me this error:

 ./node_modules/olcs/AbstractSynchronizer.js
 107:22-35 "export 'getUid' (imported as 'olBase') was not found in 'ol/index.js'

In the Codesandbox provided by you, I was unable to find the root cause, but I noticed the following:

• I noticed that you have used the ES6 import statement: import OLCesium from "olcs/OLCesium"; . But as per this issue, the module is not yet ported to ES6.

I have never used this library before, So it's hard to figure out what exactly is going on.

Did you try installing https://www.npmjs.com/package/geom ? Since the error says 4.6.4/geom/Point.js is missing.
