Description

In order to use `tailwind`, I would like to build the app using `craco` (see ).

Is it possible to customize [https://ionicframework.com/docs/cli/commands/build](`ionic build`) command?

The documentation is not really clear about what does `ionic build` does, but it looks like it call "create scripts" build for react apps.

A workaround is to manually build the app, then running `ionic capacitor build --no-buid` :

Is it the right way to customize the build today? A better build documentation (especially about customization) would be really really nice.

Research direction

Start with the Ionic CLI `build` and `capacitor build --no-build` command documentation linked in the issue, and compare their current behavior for React apps. Done means documenting whether `ionic build` can be customized for tools such as craco, or clearly documenting the supported manual-build workflow.
