Create React App

I'm deploying the build folder like suggested above, but how do you handle a catch all route to load index.html on every route with create-react-app and Now?

Hello @0xsven. Do you have this resolved?

Here is a step-by-step for using create-react-app with now-serve. The steps assume that you have already installed now-serve and create-react-app.

1. create your react app: create-react-app hello-world
2. go into the created react app: cd hello-world
3. build your react app for production: npm run build
4. deploy with now serve, ignoring any warnings (see note below): ns build

I tested these exact steps and they worked for me. Looking at your posts, maybe you left out step 2 or 3.

Let us know if this resolves your issue so we can either close it or get your system working.

Note: One of the files created by the create-react-app will be larger than 1MB and will not be included in the now deployment unless you have a pay plan. The good news is that this file is a .js.map file and will not be required for your site to function.

This worked! Thank you.
now and react. Such a powerful combination.

Following helped me, actually should work for any SPA. Add serve module to package.json dev dependencies and custom "now-start" script:

#yarn add --dev serve

//package.json - replace ./build with your bundle root:
...
"scripts" {
    "now-start": "serve ./build --single"
    ...

This comment seems like the best way to deploy CRA to Now: #160 (comment)

It essentially mimics what now-serve did.

I was getting a similar error, @0xsven . What ended up working was running the build script in create-react-app and subsequently using now serve to ns build.

@kevmannn
I might be doing it wrong but ns build . or ns build are telling me: Specified path doesn't exist!

[codyzu]

@0xsven great! Glad to read you got this worked out and I agree... now is real game changer!

Happy deployments!!!

According to Zeit, now-serve has been deprecated: https://zeit.co/blog/now-static

With now-serve being deprecated, I'm trying to use the now command and getting the cache error noted above.

The error sounds like it's starting the dev server after deployed...
