Hey Everyone, This is my first community post hope you like it!
I started learning Web development without having a pc. I only have an android phone which helped me to find various ways doing Front-end web developement on Android.
First you need to Install Termux, 'Acode editor'(I am using Paid one) and 'Files' App for this.
open termux and run pkg update and pkg upgrade
Then, run pkg install nodejs. After installing successfully, run npm i -g create-react-app and after that npx create-react-app App-name it will take few minutes.
After installed open Acode Editor, open side-bar and click on add folder, on the top there is a plus sign click that, it will open a pop up with two input fields.
On the first field write projects and click on second field, it will open file manager so make sure to open with the 'Files' app. Open sidebar scroll down you will see Termux, Click on that there will be your react app folder, Now at the botom there is a button 'allow permission to....' like that click on that, and the react app directory will be openedin Acode editor, Your can navigate files within.
To run the app go to Termux and write command cd App-name and then npm start Your react project would be live in localhost!
Thanks for reading, if you encounter any problem let me know!

If you want run react perfectly in termux, install Ubuntu using Andronix.
I write the tutorial in my blog but Indonesian language Cara Install Distro Linux di Android

Nice post, Termux is awesome but I hadn't heard of Acode before. Let us know how you get on, look forward to seeing your project!
Thank You so much! It means alot!
I have recently started learning ReactJS and made one project that is deployed on github you can check it out! It's totally made on An Android Device by me..😅
here's the link: shoa1bdev.github.io/Todo-App/
Cool! Are you hosting your source code on GitHub too or just the built versions for GH pages?
it's just the build version, since m new, i have less knowledge about this, Lot of things confuses me😅 But i m trying..to get better
thank you very much, I used the same principle to create an application react native , but now imagine that I want to use Firebase, i have to do an npm command, where did i get it? after making cd App-name ?
Hi. You can try opening multiple sessions on Termux by swiping from left to right starting from the edge of your screen.
Interesting
Thanks You so much! It means alot!💕
Very helpfull
npm ERR! cb() never called!
How resolution?
Thanks for this post
But I think You skipped something
you should run npm install -g create-react-app before you can use it via npx create-react-app
Thanks for the suggest! i appreciate it! Well in my case when i ran npx create-react-app its asked to install it by typing 'Y'..that way it worked for me..but to help other i will use your suggestion. Thanks once again
Thank you so much
I followed the steps but whenever I tried to create a react app I get an error saying, " the operation is not permitted by your operating system". I also tried using vite but I still kept seeing same error. Pls what can I do about it
