As a personal project, I've decided to create a personal website written in React and hosted on AWS services. The objective of this project is to farmiliarise myself with these technologies as I'm looking to share my experience in full stack development, even on a small scale like this.
https://production.d2iinmi5a04x2k.amplifyapp.com/
Below is some documentation on how to run the react application locally.
If you have suggestions / improvements, I would love to hear them.
Current tasks ahead of the project as of 16/08/2023 are:
- Create new pages containing professional and leisure information.
Add Footer with address and contact information.- Add blog post section with learnings from this project, as well as blog post from my travel journal.
Host the website on AWS
Later additions:
- Connect to spotify API to show what I'm listening to
- Connect to Soundcloud API to display what Music I'm currently making.
In the project directory, you can locally run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in your browser.
The page will reload when you make changes.
You may also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can't go back!
If you aren't satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you're on your own.
You don't have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn't feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn't be useful if you couldn't customize it when you are ready for it.
