Tip: anytime you type npm
or npm run
you could use yarn
instead
This command will build the app from the source files (/src
) into the output
/build
folder. As soon as the initial build completes, it will start the
Node.js server (node build/server.js
) and Browsersync
with HMR on top of it.
$ npm install
$ npm run relay
$ npm run start
http://localhost:3000/ — Node.js server (
build/server.js
)
http://localhost:3000/graphql — GraphQL server and IDE
http://localhost:3001/ — BrowserSync proxy with HMR, React Hot Transform
http://localhost:3002/ — BrowserSync control panel (UI)
Now you can open your web app in a browser, on mobile devices and start hacking. Whenever you modify any of the source files inside the /src
folder, the module bundler (Webpack) will recompile the app on the fly and refresh all the connected browsers.
Note that the npm start
command launches the app in development
mode, the compiled output files are not optimized and minimized in this case.
You can use --release
command line argument to check how your app works in release (production) mode:
$ npm start -- --release
If you need just to build the app (without running a dev server), simply run:
$ npm run build
After running this command, the /build
folder will contain the compiled
version of the app. For example, you can launch Node.js server normally by
running node build/server.js
.
$ npm run build -- --release
