Fixing issue #7985.
I learned a bit about some... interesting... NPM behavior while testing. With only a regex check that the package name started with
cra-template-, it still fell back tocra-template-@scope/package. Ifscope/packagehappened to be an accessible Github project, npm would download and install some version (I'm not quite sure how it decided which version...) of that repository as the template.The solution I came up with was adding the prefix to the package name, while leaving the scope part unchanged. Maybe not 100% intuitive, but consistent with the behaviour of non-scoped packages.
Test cases
Plain, uses
cra-templateTemplate without prefix (
typescript), usescra-template-typescriptTemplate with prefix (
cra-template-typescript)Template in scoped npm package with prefix (
@klasbj/cra-template-scoped)Template in scoped npm package without prefix (
@klasbj/scoped), uses@klasbj/cra-template-scopedScoped template with matching Github project, attempts to use
@klasbj/cra-template-scoped-cra-template, and not my Github projectklasbj/scoped-cra-template
