[Team project] 01. Why is my cloned Github code showing errors on my local?

Why is my cloned Github code showing errors on my local?

After cloning my team's code from the GitHub repository and running it on my local, I encountered error messages that prevented me from running the code.

 

I believe the errors are related to 'batch file' and here's an example of one :

 

Here's how I resolved the issues :

npm install -g react-scripts  
npm update
npm start 

The code lines I needed were quite simple. However, at this point, I'm wondering

What 'react-script' is and what it's used for?

Creating a React application requires you to set up build tools such as Babel and Webpack.
These build tools are required because React's JSX syntax is a language that the browser doesn't understand.

To run your React application, you need to turn your JSX into plain JavaScript, which browsers understand.

Create React App (CRA) is a tool to create single-page React applications that is officially supported by the React team.

<The React Scripts Start Command – Create-React-App NPM scripts explained>

Summary :

The command npm install react-scripts is to prepare your React development environment, setting a development dependency with 'react-scripts' in your project.

This package includes the necessary tools and configurations to handle processes like transforming JSX into Babel, bundling with Webpack, setting up a development server, and managing other development-related tasks.
