React App Hosting - Host Prerequisites - reactjs

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.

100% Working Example.

Fetching in reactjs doesn't work after deploying in github pages

So I have a reactjs app publish in github pages, is this one https://bernardoolisan.github.io/PyOcr/
The problem is that the app fetch data, but when I deploy it on github pages it give this error:
And it was working:(
And now my page doesn't work too, it was working but right now is blank i dont know why
I guess you are deploying the react project the wrong way to hosting providers such as github or netlify . First you must build your react project and then only push the files inside the build folder to hosting provider . Github pages can only serve static html css js files so it can only serve the build folder of your react project .
Note
To build a react app you can run npm run build and a build folder will be generated . Then you can push the files inside of the build folder to github repository and enable github pages for it .
I was having a similar issue, and I too though gh-pages can't fetch data. But what I did was I added cors to my server. I allowed cross-origin requests. Now it retrieves data from my server on heroku.

Transform React project into Progressive Web App

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.

Express JS serve react js files

I have an express js backend and a react js frontend.
Now i want to serve this as one project.
Is it possible to build a task with webpack, grunt etc. to build the react js first and then move the build to the public folder in express js?
There is! You can serve your static client files (your react app) from your server. I would suggest checking out this article if you want to know how to do so https://originmaster.com/running-create-react-app-and-express-crae-on-heroku-c39a39fe7851
Yes you can. You need to make a production build which will place all files in a directory; let's say "dist" directory. Now you can run express server or any other server (lite-server suggested) and set base directory as "dist" which will run index.html by default and your app will be running in production mode.

React + firebase hosting

I develop and app with create react app (https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app).
I create a production version with:
npm run build
This create a folder /build and I upload this with firebase client:
firebase deploy
All works perfect but in the web app, webpack, show all my code without uglify (see the folder webpack://)
How I can remove this folder from react or firebase hosting? This folder is not in /build folder.
The source is shown because you're deploying a .js.map file with your project. You can delete the file after building, or just add it to your Firebase ignore so it doesn't deploy.
