Follow the below steps:
1. Create a React app
(ignore 1st command if you have a project already created)
npx create-react-app react-app && cd react-app
2. Open the React project and run the command:
npm run build
This will create build/folder in your project.
3. Now install the PM2 tool
It helps to run the react.js app in the background.
sudo npm install -g pm2
4. Create a new file with the name app.config.json
Below the build folder and add the following snippet.
{
apps: [
{
name: "react-app",
script: "npx",
interpreter: "none",
args: "serve -s build -p 3000",
},
];
}
Now we are ready, you can change React.js port number (3000) and name of the app (react-app) from the snippet based on your need.
5. Run the following pm2 command
Which will start the app on your local or cloud instance ( i.e AWS EC2 ).
pm2 start app.config.json && pm2 list
This command will start the app and show the list of the pm2 running processes.
