a containerized react dev env

A React Dev Env to keep the tooling off of my machine

We assume that Docker is installed. Make the container, after creating a presumed directory

mkdir reactdev
./build 

Now, you can launch into this container to do dev work:

./spawn

The directory mounted/reactdev is mounted and persistent, so you can use the artifacts from your host. We also mount port 3000 so that you can get to the container running with yarn, etc.

If you were to build an app

cd mounted/reactdev
create-react-app rjfapp
cd rjfapp
git init
git add .
git add .gitignore  #make sure that node_modules is ignored!
...

Then you should be able to then run it with yarn

cd mounted/reactdev/rjfapp
yarn start   # running on port 3000 shortly

And see it from your docker host.
