Deploying the Project on Netlify

To make the project live, first build the production bundle by typing the following command in the command prompt:

npm run build

This creates optimized static files in a build/ folder.

Prerequisites for Netlify:

• You have a working React app (e.g. random-joke-generator/)
• You've successfully run npm run build
• You have a free Netlify account
• You have the project in a GitHub repo

Go to Netlify and log in

1. Click “Add new site” → “Import an existing project”  
2. Choose GitHub and connect your account  
3. Select the repository (e.g. random-joke-generator)

Configure Build Settings

When you deploy your React app (whether via GitHub or drag & drop), make sure Netlify settings are:

You can find this in:

Netlify Dashboard → Site Settings → Build & Deploy → Build Settings

Click Deploy Site

Netlify will build and host your site

After a minute or two, you’ll get a live URL like:

https://temperature-converter-application.netlify.app/

You can change the site name if you want by going to Site Settings > Change site name.

Netlify’s deployment gives you a public URL that you can share with others or use yourself to access the app online. You can also customize the subdomain to something more readable by going to your site settings on Netlify.

Congratulations! Your Temperature Converter React app is now live on the internet for anyone to use!
