How to open a create-react-app from another computer connected to the same network?

Question

I am using create-react-app and hosting in its default port localhost:3000 and want to access this from another device on the same net

Answer 1

if you have two machines (lets say pc1 and pc2) and both are connected over the same wifi connection, then:

• bind your create-react-app development server to your Wireless LAN adapter wi-fi IPv4 address (on windows type the command ipconfig.exe and unix-like systems type ifconfig).. you will find the ip address under something:
• Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi (on windows)
• wlp5s0 inet Ip_Address
• in your sheel where you develop react run HOST=your_IP npm run start

now, your development machin will be the server that serves the ui over it's IP_Address
