I am having an apk file stored in a folder of my react js project src/asset/myapp.apk, I want to make it downloadable from my portfolio website. How can I achieve that?
Try putting your static files in public/ folder.
Then simply retrieve it by addressing "/path/to/file.apk"
When using src/ filename will be processed and changed relative to your webpack config which can vary each time you run a build which is not a good practice.
If you're using create-react-app read this documentation:
Using the Public Folder
Note: if you are using gatsby, please use static/ folder instead of public.

I create a react project by using vite. When i run command npm run build to build my project then dist folder is create but my images are neither showing in dist/assets nor in deploy page on github.
My previous projects build without any problen dist/assets/ folder.I have already added base in vite.config.js.
I think that my images are not including when i build my project.I want to build my project with images.Sorry, for bad english.
I were putting image source like this: 'src/images/image.png'.thats was reason why build command not adding image to dist folder. Correct way to give image source like this : './images/image.png'.You can also give image src by import images.
I'm new to react js. I just created new React project add want to add my own assets folder where to define my local images.
Read the documentation of create-react-app where it says the Use of public folder
Good practice is to Create an assets folder inside src folder to add anything that is used when the app is compiled.
I have prototyped a ReactJS static app (no backend) on my local computer by following some tutorial. I have used create-react-app to generate my project. The next step (which is not part of the tutorial) is to upload that to S3 as a static website. I noticed that the node_modules folder is quite large (around 500 MB).
In my reading of other tutorials about static websites in AWS, some JavaScript libraries (jquery) are actually served using CDN, instead of being bundled with the app folder that is be uploaded to S3. Can that be done with node_modules as well so I can avoid uploading that?
Create react app comes with the tools necessary to develop and build your application.
develop
When you develop, you can run npm run start, it will run the project as a website and open it on the default browser.
build
When you are ready to deploy, use 'npm run build', it will produce a build directory with optimised code ready for deployment. You can copy the contents of the build directory into your S3 bucket.
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/production-build
You can also check the available commands in the scripts section of your package.json.
Then what happened to the node_modules directory
The build process is using webpack to build the project. it will only include the bare minimum files required to run your application. It will not include the entire node_modules directory.
You don't need to (and you shouldn't) upload node_modules. Your dependencies are compiled and the output file should be in your /build directory after you build your application. You just need to upload that directory to S3.
I ran the react build script and it has built the files into a build folder. However when I use serve (or any static file serve package), I am able to see the files from the src folder when I check the inspector. The react components files can be seen from the inspector.

How can I solve this issue?
I'm newbie on react, I did 2 paged website for exercise, all is working well on my localhost.
But i'm confused about how upload project to my linux server.
What i did ?
I create react app via terminal with this command :
create-react-app react-demo-project
Terminal create my project and in project root i have node_modules directory.
so here is i have some questions:
1- React project will work normally on linux hosting?
2- I need to all my project upload to ftp? Because there is arround 20.000 file in node_modules directory.
With this command build your app :
npm run build
Build folder has created in your project directory, open index.html in your browser and check output...
If you saw a blank page (after build and opening index.html) , you must change the main js file path in the index.html :
default is : src="/static/js/main.ddfa624a.js"
change to : src="./static/js/main.ddfa624a.js"
I changed js path and this worked !
create-react-app has a command to bundle your app to a ready to deploy state.
npm run build
This command will bundle your app in /build folder. With the contents of this folder you can deploy your app in any hosting environment. You don't need to install your packages and libraries manually when you use this command. More information about using this command and deploying your app in different hosting environments can be found create-react-app README
Deployment
npm run build creates a build directory with a production build of
your app. Set up your favorite HTTP server so that a visitor to your
site is served index.html, and requests to static paths like
/static/js/main.<hash>.js are served with the contents of the
/static/js/main.<hash>.js file.
1- React project will work normally on linux hosting?
Yes, it will work in all webservers, unless you have server side rendering (SSR)
2- I need to all my project upload to ftp? Because there is arround
20.000 file in node_modules directory.
Files in node_modules will NOT go to your web server. These are development dependency files used only during development.
Run npm run build
This will create a folder called build in project root. This will have all html, css , images and js files
Copy all files and folders in build folder to your site root.
If your site has to be hosted in a sub folder in root you need to do the below, otherwise you will see a blank page. This is because your static files (css, js etc) are not loaded correctly.
Open package.json
Add a new entry homepage: /your_subfolder/
It will look like this
Now do steps mentioned above and your site should work fine
Add this line to package.json:
"homepage": "./"
That should make it work without the need to adjust index.html after every build.
