**The feature set is intentionally limited**. It doesn’t support advanced features such as server rendering or CSS modules. The tool is also **non-configurable** because it is hard to provide a cohesive experience and easy updates across a set of tools when the user can tweak anything.

### Configuring the Proxy Manually

>Note: this feature is available with `react-scripts@1.0.0` and higher.

If the `proxy` option is **not** flexible enough for you, you can specify an object in the following form (in `package.json`).<br>
You may also specify any configuration value [`http-proxy-middleware`](https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware#options) or [`http-proxy`](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy#options) supports.
```js
{
// ...
"proxy": {
"/api": {
"target": "<url>",
"ws": true
// ...
}
}
// ...
}
```

All requests matching this path will be proxies, no exceptions. This includes requests for `text/html`, which the standard `proxy` option does not proxy.

If you need to specify multiple proxies, you may do so by specifying additional entries.
You may also narrow down matches using `*` and/or `**`, to match the path exactly or any subpath.
```js
{
// ...
"proxy": {
// Matches any request starting with /api
"/api": {
"target": "<url_1>",
"ws": true
// ...
},
// Matches any request starting with /foo
"/foo": {
"target": "<url_2>",
"ssl": true,
"pathRewrite": {
"^/foo": "/foo/beta"
}

},
// Matches /bar/abc.html but not /bar/sub/def.html

We need an intro paragraph selling user on PWAs here. Can grab something from Google docs and rephrase.

Progressive Web Apps are faster and more reliable than traditional web pages, and provide an engaging mobile experience:

* All static site assets are cached so that your page loads fast on subsequent visits, regardless of network connectivity (such as 2G or 3G). Updates are downloaded in the background.
* Your app will work regardless of network state, even if offline. This means your users will be able to use your app at 10,000 feet and on the Subway.
* On mobile devices, your app can be added directly to the user's home screen, app icon and all. You can also re-engage users using web **push notifications**. This eliminates the need for the app store.
