To stop the errors and get a default create-react-app React application working in IE 11:
- Create your basic application with
npx create-react-app [AppName]
- Add
import 'react-app-polyfill/ie11';
to the VERY top of index.js - If you need common standard functions like Array.find() that are not supported in IE 11 add
import 'react-app-polyfill/stable';
just below the first line in index.js - In package.json copy the production browserlist to development so you can test in IE11 and all other browsers that will work in production
- Delete the node_modules/.cache directory
