This comment now looks a bit messy. Can you please format it so that sentences start with capital letters, end with newlines, and the complete comment doesn't look like it's written by two different people?

The change directly contradicts the comment above it. Please be sure to read the comments above the code you are changing, and keep them in sync.

I don't understand why this change is necessary. This would break the development workflow because it would request files from CDN instead of the local server. Is this change in the development configuration intentional?

This assumes people are going to serve both index.html and the js bundle at different hosts in dev just like they would do in production.
For most of my local dev I'm loading a react app into a rails view, (not using cra's generated html) during local dev and production. This makes that kind of thing possible without changing how it works for anyone not using $CDN_URL.

Maybe CDN_URL should always be webpacks host + port, in dev?

I think we should file a separate issue for discussing Rails development workflow. I’m not familiar with it so it’s not obvious to me how this works.

I can remove this (removes most of the benefit I would get from this pr :( but I understand if it's not suitable here.)
Just want to point out that it's not rails specific really. It's the only way to load your react bundle into a host other than the same host that's serving the js files, Currently we are locked down to CRA serving the html.

Let’s discuss more in the issue then so that I can get a better understanding of what you wanted. If you could guide me through your development workflow, what’s running on what port, and how you intend to use CDN_URL, etc, that would help.

I think these logs are too noisy. Let’s remove them as most users won’t need them. Those who need them will look for “CDN” in “Usage Guide”.

closes facebook#647 Previously we only allowed settings the pathname via the "homepage" key in package.json Allows user to configure the full base URL via a $CDN_URL env variable Development has the same behaviour.

#703 has landed. Can you please send a new PR on top of it that honors This would make it consistent with how the code already works (that’s the name of the variable we expose). Thanks! |
