Demo SPA project failing to run

Hi All
I am trying to run the demo SPA project which I downloaded from the GitHub repository

the latest version 14.4.0
I followed all the steps and did
$ cd brxm/spa-sdk/examples/react-csr
$ npm install
$ npm run dev

But when I do try to run it breaks giving the following error.
Please let me know if I am missing anything.

npm run dev

Hey @gurvinder,

This is caused by this issue in the create-react-app.

There are two ways on how we can work this around.

  1. You can lock the TypeScript version to 4.0.*:
    npm install typescript@~4.0
  2. Or, if you would like to use the latest TypeScript version, you can do one of the following:
    • Add DISABLE_NEW_JSX_TRANSFORM=true to your .env.
    • DISABLE_NEW_JSX_TRANSFORM=true npm run dev.

Let us know if that solves your problem.

I replicated the error reported by @gurvinder and tried both workarounds suggested by @dokmic.
1 (npm install typescript@~4.0) worked for me.
2 (DISABLE_NEW_JSX_TRANSFORM=true) did not, I got a TypeScript compilation error when loading the app in the browser.

I added a warning block about this issue and the suggested workaround to https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/concepts/spa-integration/demo-projects.html .
