I am new to react.js, and trying to deploy first beta app for which I used webpack to build it, now I have got build.js file. Now as per my understanding to deploy build.js I don't need to setup any thing in server, I just need to put following things

  1. index.html
  2. build.js pointed from inside index.html
  3. Resources and Styles in their respective folder structure.

Am I going in right direction? Do I need to install npm/node etc on the server? or, just putting all the resources will work?

Thanks

  • Should Just Work™ Have you tried it and it's not working? If so, please share details and logs Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 5:35
  • Yes, you'll need to install all the dependencies from npm. Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 5:38

    Correct, it's all just static files, which can be served from any server, e.g. Apache, no need for node on the server, unless you want to use a node server like Express Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 5:39

    This question would be actually a good place to collect and explain the react building process ... Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 6:00

As several commenters have mentioned, the method you outline is likely to "just work". A module bundler like Webpack is designed to take all your code and its dependencies and bundle them together in a set of files that can be executed directly in the runtime environment. For a simple client-side web application, the runtime environment is a web browser, so all you need is a way to serve the bundled files to the users' browsers.
