Question
Deploying a React App to a Web Service

Asked by bluefirepatrick
I realize that Static Sites are useful/usual for deploying React apps and I was able to get that working. But I want to manage API secrets that the React app needs and my first thought was to use a Web Service so that I could use run-time env vars for this purpose. However I am having difficulty finding a run command for the App (using vite) that will play nice with the Web Service. I eventually tried
“web”: “npm start”, “start”: “vite --port 8080 --host”
but while the build and deploy phases succeeded the site is unreachable. If anyone knows of a good run command that I should use then thanks in advance for any guidance there. If only a Static Site should be used then any ideas for API secret management would also be welcomed.
