Create React App

Create React App (often shortened to “CRA”) is the older, but still very common, way to make a React app. Here the folder you upload is called build (not dist).

How to recognize it

The package.json mentions react-scripts, and the commands use react-scripts build.

Building the folder

Open a terminal in the project folder.
Install the pieces it needs (first time):
Terminal window
```
npm install
```
Build:
Terminal window
```
npm run build
```
A build folder appears.
Upload the build folder to Bailey.

The anti-blank-page setting

CRA uses absolute paths by default (ones starting with /). On a Bailey subdomain that’s fine, but if you hit a blank page, add this line to package.json:

{
  "homepage": ".",
  "name": "my-app"
}

"homepage": "." switches to relative paths. Run npm run build again and re-upload build. → Why your site looks broken
