MuleSoft is best known for APIs. But we can also use it as a normal web server serving HTML pages. In this tutorial, I will cover the way to host React applications in MuleSoft.
Creating a simple react app
Here, I will create a very simple React app showing an image
- npx create-react-app simple-page-app
Use this command to create the a simple react app skeleton which can be modified as per wish - Update the App.js to show image
- And you are done! 😄
Did't I say simple ? Yes!
Hosting this app in MuleSoft
Create a mule app "mulesoft-web-server"
- Drag a HTTP Listener
- Drag a Load static Resource with below config
- Your flow should look like below
- We will now create a folder called public in src/main/resources and put the react app files
- Content should look like below
Now we can start the application and see the output!
Hope you liked it. Cheers 🍻
