I'm building a react app, and at the moment webpack-dev-server
works just fine( the hello world text shows up ), But webpack -p shows blank page. For the Production build The network tab under chrome dev tools, shows index.html
and index_bundle.js
to have size 0 B(see picture) But That is clearly not the case HTML file size is 227 B & index_bundle.js
file size is 195Kb(see picture)
Also Chrome Devtools Elements Tab shows the following(see picture)
I figured it out, I was using browserHistory without setting up a local server. If i changed it to hashHistory it worked. To test webpack production locally with react-router browser history i needed to do this Configure a Server:
Your server must be ready to handle real URLs. When the app first loads at / it will probably work, but as the user navigates around and then hits refresh at /accounts/23 your web server will get a request to /accounts/23. You will need it to handle that URL and include your JavaScript application in the response.
An express app might look like this:
const express = require('express')
const path = require('path')
const port = process.env.PORT || 8080
const app = express()
// serve static assets normally
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'))
// handle every other route with index.html, which will contain
// a script tag to your application's JavaScript file(s).
app.get('*', function (request, response){
response.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, 'public', 'index.html'))
})
app.listen(port)
console.log("server started on port " + port)
And just in case anyone is deploying to firebase using react-router with browser-history do this:
{
"firebase": "<YOUR-FIREBASE-APP>",
"public": "<YOUR-PUBLIC-DIRECTORY>",
"ignore": [
"firebase.json",
"**/.*",
"**/node_modules/**"
],
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "**",
"destination": "/index.html"
}
]
}
