CRA项目部署到ghpage的方法

GitHub Pages

Note: this feature is available with `react-scripts@0.2.0` and higher.

Step 1: Add homepage to package.json

The step below is important!

If you skip it, your app will not deploy correctly.

Open your package.json and add a homepage field for your project:

1
"homepage": "https://myusername.github.io/my-app",

or for a GitHub user page:

1
"homepage": "https://myusername.github.io",

Create React App uses the homepage field to determine the root URL in the built HTML file.

Step 2: Install gh-pages and add deploy to scripts in package.json

Now, whenever you run npm run build, you will see a cheat sheet with instructions on how to deploy to GitHub Pages.

To publish it at https://myusername.github.io/my-app, run:

1
npm install --save gh-pages

Alternatively you may use yarn:

1
yarn add gh-pages

Add the following scripts in your package.json:

1
2
3
4
5
  "scripts": {
+ "predeploy": "npm run build",
+ "deploy": "gh-pages -d build",
"start": "react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",

The predeploy script will run automatically before deploy is run.

If you are deploying to a GitHub user page instead of a project page you'll need to make two additional modifications:

  1. First, change your repository’s source branch to be any branch other than master.
  2. Additionally, tweak your package.json scripts to push deployments to master:
    1
    2
    3
    4
      "scripts": {
    "predeploy": "npm run build",
    - "deploy": "gh-pages -d build",
    + "deploy": "gh-pages -b master -d build",

Step 3: Deploy the site by running npm run deploy

Then run:

1
npm run deploy

Step 4: Ensure your project’s settings use gh-pages

Finally, make sure GitHub Pages option in your GitHub project settings is set to use the gh-pages branch:

gh-pages branch setting

Step 5: Optionally, configure the domain

You can configure a custom domain with GitHub Pages by adding a CNAME file to the public/ folder.

Notes on client-side routing

GitHub Pages doesn’t support routers that use the HTML5 pushState history API under the hood (for example, React Router using browserHistory). This is because when there is a fresh page load for a url like http://user.github.io/todomvc/todos/42, where /todos/42 is a frontend route, the GitHub Pages server returns 404 because it knows nothing of /todos/42. If you want to add a router to a project hosted on GitHub Pages, here are a couple of solutions:

  • You could switch from using HTML5 history API to routing with hashes. If you use React Router, you can switch to hashHistory for this effect, but the URL will be longer and more verbose (for example, http://user.github.io/todomvc/#/todos/42?_k=yknaj). Read more about different history implementations in React Router.
  • Alternatively, you can use a trick to teach GitHub Pages to handle 404 by redirecting to your index.html page with a special redirect parameter. You would need to add a 404.html file with the redirection code to the build folder before deploying your project, and you’ll need to add code handling the redirect parameter to index.html. You can find a detailed explanation of this technique in this guide.
