deploy-reactApp-on-surge.md

Deploying a React app with Surge (from Create React App format)

1. Make sure you have surge installed globally

• npm install -g surge

2. Run the Create React App build

• cd your-react-project
• npm run build

3. Change into build directory

• cd build

4. Run surge

• surge
• Log in with your email and password, hit enter
• Enter the correct path to your project, hit enter
• Change the url to your custom url or use the default, hit enter
• Surge will run deploy

Adding deploy script to package.json

• In package.json under "scripts" add this line:
• "deploy": "npm run build && surge ./build/ your-surge-url.surge.sh"
• Update your-surge-url with your url
• npm run deploy (this will need to be run from your project root, not the build directory!)
