    well here's an article on the same by the create-react-app team: https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/production-build#docsNav – Daksh M. Feb 21 '19 at 06:11
  • So is it enough to run npm run build? no need to write a script to run my application? @DakshMiglani – Ishara Malaviarachchi Feb 21 '19 at 06:14
  • yes, `npm run build` will create a production-ready build in a folder named `dist` which you can then serve using an http-server, like nginx / caddy / etc. – Daksh M. Feb 21 '19 at 06:15

    just run `npm run build`, it'll bundle your code and save it in the `dist/` directory. once you're done with that, just copy the files from dist to the web directory of your apache server, and it should serve. – Daksh M. Feb 21 '19 at 06:19

    further more, here's create-react-app's guide on deployment: https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/deployment#serving-apps-with-client-side-routing – Daksh M. Feb 21 '19 at 06:22

run the command npm run build and take the content in the build folder and deploy it on the server.
