CREATE-REACT-ROVER

bootstrapper CLI for React App with basic conf for Caprover deployment.

It uses Parcel as bundler

Getting started

You can install it globally OR use npx instead

npx create-react-rover my-fresh-app
 
cd my-fresh-app
 
npm run dev
 

After each push to master, GitHub Action will build the app and pushing it to a production branch.

BUT actually, it doesn't create the Caprover config files on that branch, you have to do it on your own, following this :

# Create your GitHub repo and link it... 
git push -u origin master
 
# Wait for the action to perform and create production branch 
git fetch --all
 
git checkout production
 
# copy Dockerfile, captain-definition and default.conf from master branch 
 
git add Dockerfile captain-definition default.conf
git commit -m "youhou, basic config added !"
git push -u origin production
 

Then setup your Caprover app

Extra dependencies

You can add some extra dependencies during the install prompt.

Currently, only the react-router one provides template files with it !

GitHub Actions

The template project use GitHub Actions for two things:

• Running ESLint on Pull Request on master and dev
• Building the app and push it to a production branch once code is merged on master

If you do not want to use the production branch with the build action, to let your Caprover instance building it, you can delete the build.yml file and replace original Dockerfile with this one :

(This one just add an automatic build command)

# build environment
