Tell us what’s happening: i have a question.i already passed the test thats why my post is empty.so i wanted to ask.1,Do we always have to open a react project using live server or npm run dev?cuz double clicking using local path doesnt work.2,To work with react can we just create an index.jsx file …

live server extension is not the same as using vite you can review the lecture on using Vite https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/full-stack-developer/lecture-introduction-to-javascript-libraries-and-frameworks/what-is-vite-and-how-can-it-be-used-to-set-up-a-new-react-project

but is it ok to use just : index.html, index.jsx, styles.css and run through live server?then build what you want just with these 3 files?

no, live server gives the files to the browser directly, jsx files can’t be read by the browser review the lecture https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/full-stack-developer/lecture-introduction-to-javascript-libraries-and-frameworks/what-is-vite-and-how-can-it-be-used-to-set-up-a-new-react-project

but it works and it displays on UI

does the live server say it works with React? if the live server does have the underlying tech to translate react then it can work

[image] blueotino: <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-standalone/7.26.3/babel.min.js"></script> or it is this one that does the work, so Live Server would work I guess to develop a proper app you would use something like Vite tho

oh so there are no short cuts to this “npm create vite@latest ….”

for a proper app you would not import react and babel in the html file, no, you would create the infrastructure you need using Vite, or in the old days Create-React-App

it has alot of folders that i dont even know what it means.i just stick with: index.jsx app.jsx main.jsx and maybe index.html its soo fraustrating

when you start working with more complex apps the folders are the usual structure, ignore node_modules, you don’t need to open that one, but you will find the jsx and css files in public and src for example these are the folders for the freeCodeCamp codebase [image]
