- Firstly, make sure you have installed the latest version of Node.js on your computer. Download from here
-
In this step, you'll be creating a new react application using npm package manager to run a remote script. The script will copy the neccessary files into a new directory and will install all dependencies.To know about how to use Nodejs modules with npm and package.json, Visit this site.
-
Once you're done with the above setup,follow this very next step carefully.
Note : Make sure that you are in os directory. For Windows user --> change directory to 'C:\ '
- To install the base project, copy and run the following command:
npx create-react-app to-do-list-app
This command wil kick off a build process that will download the base code along with a # of dependencies.
- When the process finishes you will see a success message, that says :
- Now your project has been setup in a new directory.Copy the following command to change into new directory.
cd to-do-list-app
You're now inside the root of your created project.At this point, you've created a new project and added all of the dependencies. But you haven't take any of actions to run the project. You'll run the custom scripts to build and test the project.
- Copy and run the following command:
npm install react react-dom react-scripts
Note This could take some time depending upon your network-connection speed.
- Once the above scripts have been successfully processed,you'll start the project on a live server
- Start the Project by running the following command in the root of your project.For this, your root project is to-do-list-app directory. Be sure to open this in a seperate terminal or tab, since this script will continue running as long as you self-terminate it.
npm start
You might this as a output:
-
If you're running the script locally, it will open the project in your default browser window and shifts the focus from the terminal to the browser.
-
If that doesn't happen, you can visit the following site Copy the following clipboard to see the site action.
http://localhost:3000/
Warning: Do not try to make any default changes in package.json until then or else you might get cluttered.
- In the browser, you'll see the following React Template Project running on localhost:
- To terminate this running server, on your existing terminal, press
ctrl+c
orctrl+z
on your keyboard.
- Now you have successfully developed a local environment for your React-Application. You're now good to go to code.....
Rest of changes will be discussed during the live-demo session...
