A note about routing

Since this is a React Single Page Application (SPA), you may find that if you refresh the page for a URL other than / in production build that you get 404 message. This is because when you refresh the page at a deeper URL, your client-side router (react-router) in this project has not got chance to load and handle routing. Therefore, since your do not have a server (in this project), you get 404 back.

A nice explanation is available on this stackoverflow answer

There are 2 places we need to resolve this problem - at production build hosted locally, and production build hosted on provider.

Production build hosted locally

This project uses serve which has a flag called -s (Github). This flag re-writes all non-found requests to index.html. This loads javascript code at /, which kicks off the client-side router, hence making URL refreshes work.

Production build hosted on Vercel (provider)

This project is hosted on Vercel, so we needed to write a configuration called vercel.json, which is available here.

If you are using Firebase Hosting, refer to their documentation on how to configure re-writes.

For other provides, I encourage folks to update this documentation by opening up a PR. If you do, please provide the reference to the official documentation.
