Today I will be focusing on
- Utilising authentication
- Building React for Production
- Deploying to Now
I have never used Now so it will interesting to see how it differs from Netlify and potentially I will use it to deploy my project
I will continue to build my project and try continue work around firebase.
Updates:
It seems as though without realising I have been building in React in development mode which makes sense because when you are building a project it is in the development stages! When it is deployed it is then in the production build mode.
what does production build actually mean?
In simple laymans terms production build is basically your project in a compressed form so it means when we render the project on our browser during production build we can see it quickly.
I have a React google plugin that shows me if my project is in production or development mode.
Added some pictures below to show the difference
Development mode
Production mode
Now deployment?
After much googles I figured out that Now.sh has now become Vercel which to me seems to be ideal for deploying with a team
