# Start building your own website

This is a repository that I created to help others develop their websites in React.

## Tech stack

* [React](https://github.com/facebook/react) & [React Router 4](https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router)

* [Node](https://github.com/nodejs) & [Express](https://github.com/expressjs/express)

## Getting started

### Setting up the basic environment in Node:

You will need to install Node globally if you do not have it installed already on your local drive:

```

sudo npm install -g

```

Installing Nodemon is also highly recommended as it watches for any changes that are saved and will automatically restart your application with the updated code base.

```

npm install nodemon -g 

```

### Installing dependencies

The prescribed dependencies needed for building a website are listed in the `package.json` file of this repository.

Once this repo is cloned to your local drive, from within the root directory:

```

npm install

```

## Additional information

More granular instructions as a guide to building a website are included in my [blog post](https://medium.com/@Preda/getting-started-on-building-a-personal-website-with-react-b44ee93b1710), if needed.

### The steps to create a website include:

1. File architecture

2. Setting up the basic environment in Node

3. Installing the React framework

4. Creating a webpack and configuration

5. Building the basic front-end components

6. Styling and CSS

7. Viewing on local host

8. Deploying on Heroku
