How npm start runs a server on port 8000
We have a react application and our development machines are both mac and pc. The start command doesn't work for PC so here is how we got around it:
"start": "PORT=3001 react-scripts start","start-pc": "set PORT=3001&& react-scripts start",On my mac:
npm startOn my pc:
npm run start-pc
If you will look at package.json file.
you will see something like this
"start": "http-server -a localhost -p 8000"This tells start a http-server at address of localhost on port 8000
http-server is a node-module.
Update:- Including comment by @Usman, ideally it should be present in your package.json but if it's not present you can include it in scripts section.
