How to configure manifest.json with create react app and webpack

Question

I am working on react-boilerplate. And I also have configured webpack with but after integrating webpack I am getting error which is related to manifest.json.

Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Unexpected token.

To fix this, I am using webpack-pwa-manifest and configured webpack.config.js https://github.com/arthurbergmz/webpack-pwa-manifest

const manifest = new WebpackPwaManifest({
  name: 'React Starter Kit',
  short_name: 'React Starter Kit',
  description: 'React Starter Kit',
  background_color: '#ffffff',
  start_url: '/',
  scope: '/',
  theme_color: "#3367D6",
  icons: [
    {
      src: path.resolve('public/images/icons/icon-512x512.png'),
      sizes: [96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 512] // multiple sizes
    },
    {
      src: path.resolve('public/images/icons/icon-512x512.png'),
      size: '1024x1024' // you can also use the specifications pattern
    }
  ]
})

looking ideal way to handle this error.

Are you using HtmlWebpackPlugin as well? Manifest should be injected automatically, make sure you don't have any manually added manifest link in your html template.
