This guide shows you how to deploy a React Static application on Layer0.
Example
System Requirements
Sign up for Layer0
Deploying requires an account on Layer0. Sign up here for free.
Install the Layer0 CLI
If you have not already done so, install the Layer0 CLI
npm i -g @layer0/cli # yarn global add @layer0/cli
Create a new React Static app
If you don’t already have a React Static app, create one by running the following:
npm i -g react-static
react-static create
cd project-name # The root directory of your project
You can verify your app works by running it locally with:
yarn start
Configuring your React Static app for Layer0
Initialize your project
In the root directory of your project run 0 init
:
0 init
This will automatically update your package.json
and add all of the required Layer0 dependencies and files to your project. These include:
- The
@layer0/core
package - Allows you to declare routes and deploy your application on Layer0 - The
@layer0/prefetch
package - Allows you to configure a service worker to prefetch and cache pages to improve browsing speed layer0.config.js
- A configuration file for Layer0routes.js
- A default routes file that sends all requests to React Static.
Configure the routes
Update routes.js
at the root of your project to the following:
// This file was added by layer0 init.
// You should commit this file to source control.
import { Router } from '@layer0/core/router'
export default new Router().static('dist', ({ cache }) => {
cache({
edge: {
maxAgeSeconds: 60 * 60 * 60 * 365,
forcePrivateCaching: true,
},
browser: {
maxAgeSeconds: 0,
serviceWorkerSeconds: 60 * 60 * 24,
},
})
})
Refer to the Routing guide for the full syntax of the routes.js
file and how to configure it for your use case.
Run the React Static app locally on Layer0
Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:
npm run build
Run Layer0 on your local machine:
0 dev
Load the site http://127.0.0.1:3000
Deploying
Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:
npm run build
Next, deploy the build to Layer0 by running the 0 deploy
command:
0 deploy
Refer to the Deploying guide for more information on the deploy
command and its options.
