Day 26 React with Me

Deployment of our app

Deploying a React application refers to the process of making your React project accessible on the internet so that users can interact with it.

For Deploying we'll be using Netlify as it will take only few minutes to deploy your app and everybody can have access of your web app. Netlify provides an efficient and straightforward platform for deploying web applications, offering continuous deployment, custom domain management, and more.

First step is to go to the Netlify site and signup or sign in with your github , I'll prefer github because later it will help us to directly deploy on Netlify via github.

Then go to team overview and then click on add new site.

You'll have three option-

Import an exisiting project which helps you to add your app via github.

Start from a template will give you a template project which you can try deploying for your practice.

Lastly deploy manually will let you drop your project from local storage which is your pc to deploy. Just drag and drop your whole file. Then just

We will import an existing project from github. Just select the the project which you want to deploy. If you cant find it here then just click and select allow authorization for all the repos in github or just select the one you want to deploy.

Then the last step is to select the name of your site and check its availability. Then check build settings if you have made any custom setup for the bundler. Lastly click on deploy.

It will navigate to deploy window there you can see the progress and any error if encounter. After it is finished you will get a link similar to the name you chose for the site few steps back. You can use that link to share your project.

Tips

Automatic Deployments: Every time you push changes to your connected Git repository, Netlify will automatically build and deploy the latest version of your app.
Environment Variables: If your app requires environment variables, you can set them in the "Build & deploy" settings under "Environment".

Troubleshooting

Build Errors: Check the build logs in the Netlify dashboard for any errors during the build process.
Environment Variables: Ensure all necessary environment variables are correctly configured.

Deploying a React app on Netlify is a seamless process that allows you to quickly get your project online and accessible to users. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can deploy your app efficiently and take advantage of Netlify’s powerful deployment features. Happy coding!
