title: Exclude Dependency from Webpack from create-react-app project
body: <p>I have the following dependencies for my project.</p>
  
  <pre><code>"dependencies": {
      "amazon-cognito-identity-js": "^1.28.0",
      "bootstrap": "^3.3.7",
      "prop-types": "^15.6.0",
      "react": "^16.2.0",
      "react-bootstrap": "^0.31.5",
      "react-dom": "^16.2.0",
      "react-router-dom": "^4.2.2",
      "react-scripts": "1.0.17"
    },
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I created my project using the nice boilerplate command, <code>create-react-app my-app</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm now having an issue where I need to tell WebPack (which I found out React uses) to exclude the dependency of jQuery so I can get <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-bootstrap-slider" rel="nofollow noreferrer">React Slider</a> working.  </p>
  
  <p>Problem is the webpack config is part of the node modules.  If I modify anything in there it won't reflect for any users downloading my project.  There should be a way to override the default webpack settings but I'm not sure how to do this?</p>
  
  <p>I found this <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/configurable-react-scripts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">project</a> which might do what I need but not sure.</p>
  
  <p>The instructions say I need to add this to the webpack config.</p>
  
  <pre><code>resolve: {
      alias: {
           "jquery": path.join(__dirname, "./jquery-stub.js");
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>How do I do this given I don't have access to Webpack directly?</strong></p>
