How to force ReactJS to ignore the homepage value in development?

Question

In package.json I have the homepage set to be "/subfolder"
That should be true only for the production build. When I develop I would like it to be: localhost:3000, or so I hoped
It seems when I add homepage value it also take effect when I do npm start not just npm run build . Is there any way to force this only on none dev builds?

create-react-app -V
3.4.1

You can use this inside your code and make difference between production with the other environments in runtime:

export const production = window.location.href === 'https://your_production_url/';

Be aware of http or https.

I strongly recommend against environment calculations in the actual code. – Itay Moav -Malimovka Dec 08 '20 at 22:18
