In this article, I am going to share the steps to deploy a JavaScript project to Netlify using either a GitHub repo or with local computer files.
Before we start
- Open the Netlify App by clicking here.
- Create a free account on Netlify.
Deploying from a local computer folder
- Make a folder and include all of your project’s files (like HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc).
- Log in to Netlify and click on create a new site/ Add new site button and select Deploy manually.
- Now Drag and drop the project folder to Netlify as shown:
- Netlify will start the deployment of your site and will display a green link after successful completion.
- If you make some changes and want to update the site you can go to the deploys tab and select ur site and copy the updated project folder, the site will be deployed in the same URL.
Note: Please specify the main source HTML file as index.html as the netlify configuration deploys index.html as the base file.
Using a GitHub repo
- Make a GitHub repository and push all the project’s required files.
- Log in to Netlify App and click the ‘Add new site’/’Create new site’ button and select import an existing project.
- Choose the Git provider (GitHub). This will redirect to the GitHub website for authorization. After authorization, select the GitHub repository that contains project files.
- After choosing the repository, you can add custom site settings to the website. Choose the default settings if the source files are present at the root of the repository, and select ‘Deploy Site’.
- If your source files are not present at the root directory, they will be at a subdirectory in the repository, specify the subdirectory name/path in the ‘Publish directory’ field in ‘Build settings’ and press ‘Deploy site’.
- For any source updates, whenever the repository contents change, the site is deployed again automatically.
- The site URL/link can be customized by changing the site name in site settings.
This completes the deployment process. You should now be able to access your project online and have a link that you can use and share with the world.
I hope you have found this useful. Be sure to let me know your thoughts in the comments.
