Thanks for the awesome buildpack!

I know this is stated as the create react app buildpack, but it is useful for other react apps.

I am currently using it on my own react app and the requirements are that it needs to be static and that it has build command which runs webpack (or browserify I guess).

Great to hear that it's working for your non-create-react-app app.

It's true today, all this buildpack relies on is:

  • npm run build performs the transpile/bundling
  • the file build/index.html exists at runtime

It's possible these specs will change as create-react-app evolves, but its utility as a general purpose SPA deployer is a welcome perspective 🤔

Thanks for the kind issue 🌟😄

I was thinking the same about a general purpose SPA deployer! If more functionality is added to create-react-app then functionality could be added to it.

The index.html just has to exist at the root set in static.json.
