I have created a simple react app and built the app using npm run build command and uploaded it to host. it works but whole application directory is visible in web browser console. So how do i fix it to not to show web directory on web console. Once the application kept growing and sensible data will visible. So is there any method to avoid that.
Here's the on cPanel File Manager
and js directory has minified js like this,
But once it loads on web browser it shows App.js content,
Any suggestions.
After running "npm run build" , publish your "build" folder. Not your "public" folder.

I created a web application (symfony backend and React frontend) and I'm interested in making a progressive web app. On the whole, it seems feasible. You need to create a manifest.json and a service worker.
However, I do not know where to create these two files so that it is taken into account when I make an npm run build (or even npm run dev server if it is feasible). When I drag these files into the root, the browser tells me that it does not find any of these files.
You can bootstrap your application with the PWA template following the command below:
npx create-react-app YOUR_PROJECT_NAME --template cra-template-pwa
The argument --template cra-template-pwa is added to create an app with a service worker.
The directory of your newly created project contains the file index.js. Open it and find the following code:
serviceWorker.unregister();
Here, you can see that the serviceWorker is not registered yet. You have to change the unregister() call to register().
serviceWorker.register();
Configure the web app manifest for your progressive web app, that is located in the manifest.json file in public directory. Here, you need to alter the metadata that is responsible for the appearance of your application.
I had created a React app using npm init and used webpack.
Project is running successfully and able to work integrated with Express JS also.
I had created dist folder using the command npm run build which created bundle.js file along with the index.html file.
When I try to open index.html file in chrome browser nothing gets displayed except header and footer, no error in console.
I expect the login form which is my application's home page to load when i open index.html file chrome browser.
Generic: What kind of services must a hosting vendor provide in order to make it possible to have a React app hosted?
More Specific: If I create a website with React and React Router, is it possible to deploy it by just uploading the bundled output folder? This could be for example a dist folder containing index.html, bundle.js and an images folder.
Could this be as simple as deploying a simple web page (like one built with plain HTML, CSS and JS)?
Sure just do: npm run build
and you will have a folder with the static files. Upload those with your choice of file transfer method and set the permissions to the web host appropriately.

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.
I am wondering if it is possible to deploy react.js web app that I've built to a share hosting site that does not have node.js installed?
I use webpack to build the application and it creates normal html, js, css file. I uploaded the static folder that includes all those html, js(bundle.js) and css files, but when I request the site, the server reply with 404 bundle.js not found response.
Use npm run build, you should get a folder with the index html file inside that will run your app. Try this with xampp first before you actually deploy to your server.
Here is everything step by step
npm run build
or
yarn run build
it will generate a build folder that looks like this:
Copy everything and move it to the htdocs in xampp or ftp upload the directory to the public_html file in your hosting
Yes you sure can put react on a shared hosting provider.
Seeing as you're getting a 404 error (not found), you are probably referencing your react file/bundle incorrectly. It might not even be named bundle.js if you're using a boilerplate to create your application.
Can you give more information? What does your index.html file look like? What does your directory structure look like? If you are able to post these files I can tell you what the issue is.
Update:
The answer below should be accepted. (Although this would assume that you have the ability to make a build which you have not verified or not.)
Make a build using the build command through whatever boilerplate you used. Deploy those files on your shared hosting server. Make sure that index.html is at the root of where your server is expecting the root to be and your app should be live.
For deploying a react app on a shared hosting you need to create a production build. Production build is a pack of all your react code and its dependencies.
in most shared hosting we put our site/app inside a public_html directory so if we hit www.yourdomain.com it serves the code from public_html directory.
so if your react app is ready to go, edit your package.json file add a new key value:
"homepage":"http://yourdomain.com"
then create a build using following command:
npm run build
after running the command you will see a new directory named build in your app root. It will contain js and css for the app and a index.html file. You need to upload all the content inside build directory to public_html directory, and that's all, go to your domain and your app will be working just fine.
