Code

For our demo We are going to build a simple basic react application , so you don’t have to know a lot about react , all we are going to build or use is a demo project .

If you want to read more about the Azure Static Web App Service follow this link .

Creating the react application

 

to build a react application we are going to use a couple of commands :

“Make sure you have a recent version of Node.js installed”

npx create-react-app my-app

now we need to go where we have created our app using

cd my-app
cd src

# If you're using a Mac or Linux:
rm -f *

# Or, if you're on Windows:
del *

# Then, switch back to the project folder
cd ..

now , you are inside the react application , if you open the solution using visual studio code you should see this content :

Now if you run npm start in the project folder and open http://localhost:3000

 

Pushing code to GitHub

 

Now after building our project on our local computer ,we are now going to push it to github .

For that we need to create a new repository :

Now to push our solution to GitHub we are going to use a couple of commands :

git add -A
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M master
git remote add origin https://github.com/achrafbenalaya/ReactDemo.git
git push -u origin master

Run those commands one by one and your code will be pushed to GitHub as in picture below .

github

 

Create Static Web App

If you don’t have an azure account you can create your Azure free account today and 12 months of free services

from this link .

Now when you login to the portal you should look for static web app and clique on create and you will have the same as in the picture below :

azure

 

Now , you should fill the data with a resource group (you can create a new one by cliquing on Create new) .

You should also give your application a name and choose a region, next we are going to build a trust connection between azure and GitHub by  cliquing on Sign in with GitHub .

 

azure

A new fields will appear where you need to choose your organization , the repository that you have created for the application and the branch (in our case we only have one branch and its the Master ) .

After you fill those fields, a new field will appear were you have to choose the framework that you have worked with ,in our case it’s react

azure

azure

In our case , we don’t have an api  ,we are not going to consume and api we are just going to build a static web app, for that , be carful to to delete the ‘build’ for the app artifact location .

App artifact location is the path of your build output relative to your apps location. For example, setting a value of ‘build’ when your app location is set to ‘/app’ will cause the content at ‘/app/build’ to be served.

 

azure

Now when you are going to clique on ‘Create’ Azure will use GitHub actions to deploy your webpage. If you head over to the app overview tab you will notice a “Workflow File” link.

 

github

If you open the file, you will see it  contains the GitHub action config for CI/CD pipeline.

if you go and clique on Actions , you will see that the pipeline already started

github action

Now let’s check the service that we have created on azure :

azure

Now clique on the Url to navigate to our application and you will see that we have our app live !

azure

 

Now  ,all you have to do , is to pull the project since there is a new file published , do your modifications on your source code and then push it and GitHub action will do all for you and you will see your app published on azure .

You can watch the video below for the full Demo .
