Nano React App Default Javascript Template

The default template project for nano-react-app.

• npm start — This will spawn a development server with a default port of 1234.
• npm run build — This will output a production build in the dist directory.

Custom port

You can use the -p flag to specify a port for development. To do this, you can either run npm start with an additional flag:

npm start -- -p 3000

Or edit the start script directly:

parcel index.html -p 3000

Adding styles

You can use CSS files with simple ES2015 import statements anywhere in your Javascript:

import "./index.css";

Babel transforms

The Babel preset babel-preset-nano-react-app is used to support the same transforms that Create React App supports.

The Babel configuration lives inside package.json and will override an external .babelrc file, so if you want to use .babelrc remember to delete the babel property inside package.json.

Deploy to GitHub Pages

You can also deploy your project using GitHub pages. First install the gh-pages package:

npm i -D gh-pages

With Parcel's --public-url flag, use the following scripts for deployment:

"scripts": {
  "start": "parcel index.html",
  "build": "parcel build index.html --public-url '.'",
  "predeploy": "rm -rf dist && parcel build index.html --public-url '.'",
  "deploy": "gh-pages -d dist"
},

Then follow the normal procedure in GitHub Pages and select the gh-pages branch.
