# Build a Full-Stack React Application with AWS Amplify
This project demonstrates how to build and deploy a full-stack React application using AWS Amplify. Integrate your React frontend with a serverless backend and leverage Amplify's hosting capabilities to create a scalable, globally available web application.
## Key Features
- **React Application:** Develop a single-page application (SPA) using React and Vite for optimized performance.
- **AWS Amplify Integration:** Utilize Amplify for hosting, backend setup (authentication, data, storage), and other cloud services.
- **Full-Stack Capabilities:** Implement user authentication, data storage, and media uploads within your React app.
## Prerequisites
Ensure you have the following:
- A GitHub account
- An AWS account with permissions to access Amplify and related services (Cognito, AppSync, S3)
- Basic understanding of React and AWS services
## Setup Instructions
### 1. Create a React Application
Initialize a new React application with Vite:
```bash
npm create vite@latest my-react-app --template react
cd my-react-app
npm install
```
### 2. Push to GitHub
Set up a Git repository and push your code:
```bash
git init
git remote add origin
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin main
```
### 3. Deploy and Customize Your App with AWS Amplify
1. Sign in to your AWS account and open the [Amplify console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/amplify).
2. Connect your GitHub repository to Amplify by following the setup wizard.
3. Configure build settings and deploy your app to a domain provided by Amplify (e.g., `.amplifyapp.com`).
### 4. Implement Amplify Authenticator Feature
Set up the Amplify Authenticator to handle user authentication:
1. Install Amplify libraries:
```bash
npm install aws-amplify @aws-amplify/ui-react
```
2. Initialize and configure Amplify in your React app:
- Follow the [AWS Amplify documentation](https://docs.amplify.aws/) to set up Amplify for authentication, data, and storage.
### 5. Configure Backend Features in Amplify
Set up backend features like authentication, data storage, and file management:
1. Initialize and configure backend resources using Amplify CLI
```
amplify init
amplify add auth
amplify add api
amplify add storage
amplify push
```
2. Integrate these features into your React app using Amplify libraries.
### 6. Clean Up Resources
To avoid incurring unwanted charges:
1. Remove the Amplify app from the Amplify console.
2. Delete any associated resources, such as S3 buckets and Cognito user pools.
## Additional Configuration
For optimal development, use Vite's React plugins:
- [@vitejs/plugin-react](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react)
- [@vitejs/plugin-react-swc](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react-swc)
### Documentation
- [React Documentation](https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html)
- [AWS Amplify Documentation](https://docs.amplify.aws/)
- [Vite Documentation](https://vitejs.dev/guide/)
- [AWS Amplify GitHub](https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js)
## Important Notes
- Ensure you have the necessary AWS permissions to access and manage Amplify and related services.
- Regularly monitor your AWS resources to prevent unexpected costs.
