Setting up React? CRA it is..
In my attempt to understand React and its glory, I stumbled upon some initials which went by as CRA which stands for Create React App. For a brief moment whilst trying to figure out a project where I needed to build my portfolio, I had to delve deeper to understand the elements.
Downloading and installing Node is crucial, you have to run the commands on the node.js command shell especially for users like me who are working with Windows and have several power shells running
After the installation of Node you will need to run a few command lines so as to activate and install the React dependency modules. This is where CRA comes in.
On successful installation, the prompt will automatically open the React App Window .
One thing to note and that I see as a disadvantage for windows users is for any application eg GIT, Node JS, Anaconda etc that is created, a new command prompt is installed and as such you are forced to use and figure out the correct command prompt and its accompanied administrative privileges'. A solution i have explored is the installation of ubuntu that will allow help minimize the number of command prompts you will have to create space.
As the prompt on Node JS says Happy Coding !
