So you want to build an app with React? React is a library for building user interfaces, which comprise only one part of an app. Deciding on all the other parts — styles, routers, npm modules, ES6 code, bundling and more — and then figuring out how to use them is a drain on developers. This has become known as javascript fatigue.
Despite this complexity, usage of React continues to grow. The community answers this challenge by sharing boilerplates. These boilerplates reveal the profusion of architectural choices developers must make.

The Nginx web server provides optimum performance and security for the runtime. See Architecture for details. If your goal is to make a single app that combines React UI with a server-side backend Node, Ruby, Python… , then this buildpack is not the answer. Ensure requirements are met, then execute the following in a terminal. For explanation about these steps, continue reading the next section.
Work with your app locally using npm start. See: create-react-app docs. Eventually, to share, collaborate, or simply back-up your code, create an empty repo at Github , and then follow the instructions shown on the repo to push an existing repository from the command line. Use create-react-app's built-in Jest testing or whatever testing library you prefer. Heroku CI is supported with minimal configuration. Heroku CI uses app. To support Heroku CI, commit this minimal example app.
Heroku apps may declare what processes are launched for a successful deployment by way of the Procfile. The implicit Procfile to start the static web server is:. This tells S3 to allow any domain access to the bucket and that requests can contain any headers, which is generally fine for testing. If you wish to use S3 credentials specifically for this application, then more keys can be generated in the AWS account pages.
This provides further security, since you can designate a very specific set of requests that this set of keys are able to perform.
If this is preferable to you, then you will need to configure your IAM users in the Edit bucket policy option in your S3 bucket. To get started, create a directory somewhere on your local machine:. The tool will ask some questions about your app, including its name, description, licensing, and version-control, and create a file called package. This file uses your responses to maintain information about your app, which you can edit freehand as you develop further.
To do so, edit package. Use of these packages will become clear later, and installation of them in this way allows for greater control of your per-app dependencies as your apps grow. In order for your application to access the AWS credentials for signing upload requests, they will need to be added as configuration variables in Heroku:. Using config vars is preferable over configuration files for security reasons. Please see the article Configuration and Config Vars for more information.
Setting up local environment variables for your app is useful for running and testing your app locally. For more information, see the Set up your local environment variables section of the Heroku Local article.
Information on launching your app locally is provided later in this article. Remember to add the. The processes and steps required to accomplish a direct upload to S3 will be demonstrated through the use of a simple profile-editing scenario for the purposes of this article. This example will involve the user being permitted to select an avatar image to upload and enter some basic information to be stored as part of their account.
The HTML and JavaScript can now be created to handle the file selection, obtain the request and signature from your Node application, and then finally make the upload request. Firstly, create a file called account. In the body of this HTML file, include a file input and an element that will contain status updates on the upload progress.
In addition to this, create a form to allow the user to enter their username and full name and a hidden input element to hold the URL of the chosen avatar image:.
To see the completed HTML file, please see the appropriate code in the companion repository. Both of these are updated by the JavaScript, discussed below, when the user selects a new avatar.
