Specify Port Of CRA's Webpack Dev Server

create-react-app gives you a set of scripts, one of which allows you to start a development server that bundles and serves your javascript. This is handled under the hood via webpack-dev-server. By default it attempts to serve from port 3000. If port 3000 is taken it will attempt to connect to another sequential port.

Alternatively, you can just specify the port when starting the development server. This can be done with the PORT env var.

$ PORT=3333 yarn start
