I've been using npm (for React and Angular) apps for a while and I find npm some of the least pleasing parts of my dev life.

I don't know if I've ever found a nice article about the basics of npm in the context of a React app. There are basics articles about npm (without React), but getting a React app working with npm requires so much more 'magic'

Npm itself is a tool, I try not to spend time much more time than I need to either. As long as it gets the job done, I'm happy. But that could be because I lack a fundamental knowledge on it.

NPM is definitely a very misunderstood tool! It is quite powerful and yet, not a lot of people know everything it can do!
I actually have an article waiting to be published that covers NPM, sadly not in relation to React apps though. I might take a look at that in the future, thanks for sharing!
