Learn How you develop and build with an example project
There are so many ways we can build React apps and ship for production. One way is to build React with NodeJS or Java and another way is to build the React and serve that static content with NGINX web server. With Java we have to deal with the server code as well, for example, you need to load index.html page with java.
