The Complete React Developer Course (with Hooks and Redux) - Regular vs Development Dependencies

Why is it beneficial to separate dependencies into regular and development dependencies?

• To reduce the size of the package.json file

• To make the application run faster locally

• To ensure all dependencies are installed on Heroku

• To optimize the build process and reduce deployment time

What command is used to install a module as a development dependency using Yarn?

• yarn add

• yarn add --dev

• yarn install --dev

• yarn install

Which of the following is NOT a reason to move a dependency to the devDependencies section?

• The dependency is only used for testing

• The dependency is used for local development

• The dependency is required in production

• The dependency is not needed on Heroku

What does the 'yarn install --production' command do?

• Installs only the regular dependencies

• Installs only the devDependencies

• Installs no dependencies

• Installs all dependencies including devDependencies

What is the purpose of creating a 'dist' directory in the public folder?

• To keep backup files

• To organize compiled assets separately

• To store configuration files

• To store all source code files

Which configuration file needs to be updated to change the output path for compiled assets?

• server.js

• index.html

• package.json

• webpack.config.js

What is the role of the 'publicPath' property in webpack configuration?

• To list all dependencies

• To define the output directory for bundled assets

• To specify the entry point of the application

• To set the server port

Why is it important to test the application in both development and production environments?

• To check if the application runs faster in production

• To confirm that the application functions correctly in different environments

• To verify that all dependencies are correctly installed

• To ensure the application looks the same in both environments

What command is used to start the development server?

• yarn run dev-server

• yarn run dev

• yarn build

• yarn start

What is the purpose of the '.gitignore' file in the context of the 'dist' directory?

• To include the 'dist' directory in version control

• To exclude the 'dist' directory from version control

• To list all dependencies

• To specify server configurations
