When we want to host the app online! In this guide, we'll be using Github Pages. we can do this pretty easily! Here's your super fun guide to building for the web.
-
Install all your dependencies. You can see the Usage guide for instructions on how to do this.
-
Modify "homepage" in the
package.json. If we wanted to targethttps://patheticmustan.github.io/ScoutingAppWebBuildTest/, it might look something like this.
{
...
"homepage": "/ScoutingAppWebBuildTest",
...
}- Get the web build!
expo build:webThe result should be in web-build. The file structure should look something like this:
> pwa
> static
asset-manifest.json
index.html
manifest.json
serve.json
...other favicon stuff
- Stick the contents of
web-buildin your other repository that you're using for github pages.
I personally prefer having a separate repository for the web build, but if you really wanted you could keep it in the same one.
Enable Github Pages for whatever branch you choose, the website should automatically build.
If you're getting a bunch of 404 errors in console, try double checking you did step 2 correctly!
