- Use the below cmd to create your project-
mvn -B archetype:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=24 -D aemVersion=6.5.0 -D appTitle="My React SPA Site" -D appId="mysitereact" -D groupId="com.demomysite.react" -D frontendModule=react -D includeExamples=y -D includeDispatcherConfig=n
- Open terminal and navigate to react-app directory and execute “npm install --save-dev webpack webpack-cli” to install Webpack
- webpack.config.js file need to be created and paste the following code snippet----
const path = require("path");
module.exports = {
entry: "./src",
output: {
filename: "App.js",
path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist")
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /(node_modules)/,
use: {
loader: "babel-loader",
options: {
presets: ["@babel/preset-react"]
}
},
enforce: "post"
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: "style-loader!css-loader"
}
]
}
};
-
In project root add .babelrc file and paste the following configuration
{
"presets": [
[
"@babel/preset-react",
{
"pragma": "dom", // default pragma is React.createElement
"pragmaFrag": "DomFrag", // default is React.Fragment
"throwIfNamespace": false // defaults to true
}
]
]
}
-
Find and open package.json and add the following under scripts
"develop": "webpack --mode development"
And add the following DevDependencies section
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/preset-react": "^7.0.0",
"babel-loader": "^8.0.5",
"webpack": "^4.28.3",
"webpack-cli": "^3.3.0"
}
-
Run “npm install” and “npm run develop” to build project.
- A folder named dist and App.js will be under it (if you don’t have any styles)
- Take the index.html from public folder of your react-app and place it in your web server’s doc root folder. Update the file to include <script src="App.js" type="text/JavaScript"></script> before body tag close
- You should see your React application work fine in browser without dev server
