production build: change name

Is this a bug report?

No. Just a question

Question

Is het possible to change the production build .js name?

npm run build is now generating a file with a name like :

runtime~main.fdfcfda2.js (using react-scripts 2.1.5)

The issue I am having is that when I deploy to an SAP server it is failing because the special character '~` in the file is not allowed.

I think it is more a SAP problem but maybe it is simple to change the generated name (without ejecting ofcourse)

btw: is it important to have this special character in the name?

Seems like webpack just started it that way, but when questioned about it, didn’t really push back that there was a reason for it. They added the ability to change it in a release soon after.

Would changing it in the default CRA config have any adverse effects? I can’t think of any.

I think the changes required for this would be changing this:

https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/1548a0a92e41f9f626aa2c5226fb1a2cb2ec9229/packages/react-scripts/config/webpack.config.js#L254

to

    runtimeChunk: {
      name: entrypoint => `runtime-${entrypoint.name}`
    }

and

https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/1548a0a92e41f9f626aa2c5226fb1a2cb2ec9229/packages/react-scripts/config/webpack.config.js#L549

to

 new InlineChunkHtmlPlugin(HtmlWebpackPlugin, [/runtime-.+[.]js/]),

Not sure if the special character there is for some special reason, probably not. Would you like to submit a PR?
