About this guide
This development guide walks you through everything you need to do to build a high-quality React app integrated with Vercel. Check out the tasks below to get started. To save time, you can also use our boilerplate, which gives you a complete React codebase with all of these tasks done for you. Okay, let's dive in!
Tasks
Setup your React app
Setup a React app usingnpx create-react-app
and routing using React Router. There are many ways you can structure your app, but a common setup is to have anApp
component that defines top-level routes, with each route component imported from the/pages
directory. The rest of your components should be located in your/components
directory. You can then run your app locally with thenpm run start
command.Deploy to Vercel
To deploy your React app to Vercel first link it to a project with thevercel link
command. Next you'll want to make sure any to add any environment vars used in your app to Vercel usingvercel env add
or via the environment vars UI. You can then use thevercel
command to deploy your project to a unique preview URL orvercel --prod
to deploy to your production domain.
Get the code
You can get the code for this guide with our React and Vercel Boilerplate. You'll get a complete React codebase with Vercel integration, all the tasks listed above done for you, and a responsive multi-page template. It should save you about two weeks of development time.
