Starting from scratch
Create a React app by using the Create React App package.
We should install the package by running the following comands:
npx create-react-app my-react-project-1We should see something like:
Success! Created my-react-project-1 at /Users/damian/OneDrive/Documents/Programming/Workspaces/react-the-complete-guide-course/01-my-react-files/01-project/my-react-project-1
Inside that directory, you can run several commands:
npm start
Starts the development server.
npm run build
Bundles the app into static files for production.
npm test
Starts the test runner.
npm run eject
Removes this tool and copies build dependencies, configuration files
and scripts into the app directory. If you do this, you can’t go back!
We suggest that you begin by typing:
cd my-react-project-1
npm start
Happy hacking!Using an existing project
Alternatively, we can copy a React project to our development environment and run:
npm installThis way, we will have all the packages needed to start working on the project
