Does create-react-app allways needs static files to be served

[Darren-Ivey]

From what I can see, the create-react-app needs static files to be served in order to work. Is there a way around this?

Just to expand on my issue, I am trying to set up a cordova app using create-react-app. I can view the app without any issues whilst serving the files using pushstate-server, however when I build and run the app (in browser or Android device) I get a blank screen. There are no errors in the console, but the JSX has obviously not rendered. I know this is the same result as if you simply tried to open the index.html into a browser.

Reading around I can see that by default the bundled JSX file needs to be served up in order to render. Is there a way around this, so that the JSX would be displayed?

Sorry this issue slipped through the cracks.
Please see #1094 for a discussion about this.
Yes, currently it needs to be served, but we’ll likely support the Cordova use case at some point in the future.
