It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

let’s start for production phase to deploy this application.

In this, we have two-phase these are -

Webpack setup

Dockerfile

// install webpack global

npm install -g webpack

//install webpack and webpack-cli in the project

npm install webpack webpack-cli --save-dev

// add below to scripts section in package.json

"build": "webpack"

Now create a new file which the name webpack.config.js where we mention about starting file, output file, and target. All these are important.

when we run the below command it converts the whole project into a single file.

npm run build

after the build is complete, let’s add the below npm script to the scripts section in the package.json and run the command

"prod": "node dist/final.js",

npm run prod //run this in the terminal
