Creating a React application

Creating a React application

1. Do not use: https://legacy.reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html#setup-option-2-local-development-environment
2. Use: https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project#nextjs-pages-router
3. https://create-react-app.dev/ If you want to create it inside the folder we are already in:

   npx create-react-app my-app-01
   

   If you want to create it in a different folder than the one we are already in:

   npx create-react-app /home/explorer436/Downloads/GitRepositories/programming-playground/react-playground/episode1
   

4. Vite
   1. https://vite.dev/guide/
   2. Much faster than create-react-app
   3. Provides tons of features right out of the box - we get way better experience
   4. Scaffolding Your First Vite Project: https://vite.dev/guide/#scaffolding-your-first-vite-project

      # npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
      npm create vite@latest my-react-app -- --template react
