Cra

To create a new React app:

Terminal window
$ jstime create react ./app
$ cd app
$ jstime dev # start dev server

To use an existing React app:

Terminal window
$ jspm add -d react-refresh # install React Fast Refresh
$ jstime jstime ./src/index.js # generate a bundle for your entry point(s)
$ jstime dev # start the dev server

From there, JSTime relies on the filesystem for mapping dev server paths to source files. All URL paths are relative to the project root (where package.json is located).

Here are examples of routing source code file paths:

| Dev Server URL | File Path (relative to cwd) | | -------------------------- | --------------------------- | | /src/components/Button.tsx | src/components/Button.tsx | | /src/index.tsx | src/index.tsx | | /pages/index.js | pages/index.js |

You do not need to include file extensions in import paths. CommonJS-style import paths without the file extension work.

You can override the public directory by passing --public-dir="path-to-folder".

If no directory is specified and ./public/ doesn’t exist, JSTime will try ./static/. If ./static/ does not exist, but won’t serve from a public directory. If you pass --public-dir=./ JSTime will serve from the current directory, but it will check the current directory last instead of first.
