5 Files When Starting create-react-app
This video is a detailed explanation of the first 5 files you need to know when starting a project with create-react-app. When I started my first create-react-app project, I had no idea how the files were laid out or what each one did. If I had a video like this I would have saved a bunch of time trying to learn what the heck was going on. In this video I walk through each file line by line and connect the five essential files you need to know to get started. This video is part of a free project I run called React Pokedex. You can sign up for the project which includes a bunch of extra information beyond these videos. It's FREE! ================= ReactPokedex sign up! https://atypicalengineer.co/ Table of Contents: 00:00 - Introduction 00:54 - The 5 files 01:25 - index.html 03:33 - index.js 08:30 - app.js 10:54 - app.css 12:42 - package.json ▶️ You Can Find Me On: My Website - http://atypicalengineer.co/ Facebook - / theatypicalengineer Instagram - / atypical.engineer TikTok - / atypical.engineer
