Docker React App

A bash script that creates a react app and starts the development server using Docker. Use of Docker volumes for storage allows support for hot-reloading of react applications.

On running the ./dra.sh project-name from a bash shell:

1. A react app is created with the given name
2. dev.Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files are created in the application folder
3. docker-compose is used to start the development server for the react app on localhost:3000

To stop the server, you can halt the container using docker CLI or the Docker Desktop GUI.

To restart the server, you can:

1. Rerun the docker container using docker CLI or Docker Desktop GUI
2. Run docker compose up inside the folder

Requirements

Following programs need to be installed to run the script:

• Bash shell
• docker
• docker-compose
• npm and npx
• node docker image

Roadmap

• Add commands to package.json as npm scripts
