Sorry for such a basic question, but I am new to the MS SPA Template world and am having some trouble navigating it.

I followed this Microsoft guide to create a .NET/React project using one of the SPA templates. I saw at the top of that guide it says: "This documentation isn't about the released React project template. This documentation is about the release candidate of the React template." which I assume to mean "get the RC version of the template from Nuget".

I ran the command dotnet new --install Microsoft.DotNet.Web.Spa.ProjectTemplates::2.0.0-rc2-final and then dotnet new react -o my-app. But then when I open up my newly created project, it looks like:

(it is using TS and not using CRA)

but I was expecting it to look like the example code found over in the templating repo which uses CRA for the React app.

What version of the template do I need in order to get the version of code found in the templating repo?
