Disable Babel compilation details in create-react-app 5.0.0

Question

After updating react-scripts (Create React App) to 5.0.0, when running npm start command in terminal, it adds a bunch of compilation logs:

Compiled successfully!

You can now view product-list-dashboard in the browser.

  Local:            http://localhost:3000
  On Your Network:  http://192.168.1.2:3000

Note that the development build is not optimized.
To create a production build, use npm run build.

This behaviour is not observed in react-scripts version 4. Is there any chance to remove this information from the terminal?

Answer 1

After tinkering with with CRA settings, I found a dirty hack to make console clean again - go to node_modules/react-scripts/config/webpack.config.js and at the very end of the config object add stats: none . This will bring back old-school terminal development logs without that web pack chunks rubbish
