# filesharing-react-app-example



This example app shows how to build a simple file sharing app where all files are shared between everyone who use the app.



To read more details about how to use Pear, read the [Getting Started guide](https://docs.pears.com/guides/getting-started).



## How to run



[Pear](https://docs.pears.com/guides/getting-started) is a prerequisite, which can be installed with `npm i -g pear`.



```

$ git clone https://github.com/holepunchto/filesharing-react-app-example.git

$ cd filesharing-react-app-example

$ npm install 

$ pear run .

```



When a Pear app runs, it uses a local storage that's the same for all instances. To test the file sharing app, it would be good run multiple instances that looks different. To do that, use the `--store/-s` parameter for `pear`.



In one terminal:



```

$ pear run -s /tmp/fs1 .

```



In another terminal:



```

$ pear run -s /tmp/fs2 .

```



## How to release



When a Pear app is released, it can be run by others. Read more about this in this [guide](https://docs.pears.com/guides/sharing-a-pear-app). The details won't be in this section, but just commands to run.



```

$ pear stage foo    # Stage the local version to a key called "foo"

$ pear release foo  # Release the staged version of "foo"

$ pear seed foo     # Start seeding (sharing) the app

```



When running `pear seed` there will be output similar to



```

-o-:-

    pear://a1b2c3...

...

^_^ announced

```



This link can be shared with others.



To run the app, do this (in another terminal):



```

$ pear run pear://a1b2c3...

```
