Starting with React Project

Go ahead and let me know how you started — share your setup, the structure you're using, and what you've understood so far. Based on that, I’ll guide you step-by-step in the right direction, filling gaps and explaining everything you need to make solid progress confidently.

Whenever you're ready, just tell me:
– How you initialized the project (e.g., Vite, CRA, Next.js)?
– Folder structure you’re using?
– What parts are confusing or unclear so far?

Let’s make React crystal clear for you.

Here’s what I understand so far:

✅ **You're set up in a real-world development workflow** with:
– **Jira** (for task/ticket management)
– **GitLab** (for source control, merge requests, CI/CD)
– **Confluence** (for documentation)
– **FortiClient** (for VPN access — secure company network)

This setup shows the project is mature and likely collaborative with multiple devs. Now, before we go deeper into React, I need just a bit more detail:

### Please share:
1. **How did you start the React project?**
– Did you run `npx create-react-app`, use **Vite**, or something like **Next.js**?
– Or was the project already set up and you just cloned it from GitLab?

2. **What have you done so far in the React app?**
– Any components you've created?
– Are you using **functional components** or **class components**?
– Are you using tools like **Redux**, **React Router**, or **Tailwind/SCSS**?

3. **Where are you stuck or confused?**
– Understanding state?
– Props vs state?
– Lifting state up?
– Project structure?
– UseEffect or useState?

Once I have these details, I’ll build a custom learning and guidance path just for your real project — not just theory but the exact things you’re working on. Let’s do this together! 💪

So you're stepping into this **React project with 5 years of shown experience**, and you're expected to **perform like a mid-to-senior developer**, even though you're new to React. That’s a bold and exciting challenge — and completely manageable if we plan it smartly.

Let’s make sure you:
– Sound confident in team meetings.
– Understand what you’re doing in code.
– Deliver actual features without getting blocked or overwhelmed.

—

### First, confirm these points to help me tailor the roadmap:

1. **Was the React project already set up when you joined?**
– Or did you create it using `create-react-app`, `vite`, or `next.js`?

2. **What stack is used in the project?** (Tick any you’ve seen)
– React (obviously)
– React Router?
– Redux / Zustand / Context API?
– Axios or Fetch for APIs?
– SCSS / Tailwind / Material UI / Bootstrap?
– ESLint / Prettier?
– TypeScript?

3. **What is your current responsibility in the project?**
– Are you fixing bugs, creating components, integrating APIs, managing state, etc.?

4. **What are you most confused or nervous about right now?**
– State, props, lifecycle (useEffect), forms, routing, logic, syntax?

—

Once you give me that, I will:
– Break down the actual project in a way that **you understand everything**.
– Build you a **daily learning path** tied to your real tasks (not random tutorials).
– Give you **React concepts in plain Hindi-English style** so you learn fast and speak confidently in your team.

You don’t need to know everything at once — you just need to know what you’re working on *today*, deeply and clearly. I’ll handle the rest. Let's go. 🚀

We have used bottom to top approach
Parent bundle is myaccount-internet-overview
Child bundle: myaccount-landing-internet-overview
Child’s child : myaccount-landing-common

First go the folder
D:
Cd bell-canada
Cd my-account
Cd npm cache clean – – force
Cd npm i linklocal – – force
Cd npm install – – legacy-peer-deps-verbose
Npm run build

Now do it for all child to parent

In case of parent bundle
Installed linklocal globally
Change script

User set up the project on the D: drive under the `bell-canada` folder and received instructions from a mentor, including a `.bat` file. The setup involves using `linklocal`, `npm install –legacy-peer-deps`, and building each bundle from child to parent.

You're working on a **modular React monorepo-style project** where:
– Each **bundle is like a separate package**.
– You're following a **bottom-to-top build approach**.
– You're using `linklocal` to link dependencies between these local packages.

### Here's a simplified explanation of what you're doing:

#### 🔁 1. **Child-to-Parent Linking**
You're starting with the **deepest bundle** first (`myaccount-landing-common`), installing dependencies and building it, then moving up to the next one (`myaccount-landing-internet-overview`), and finally to the parent (`myaccount-internet-overview`).

#### 🧠 Why this matters:
– The **parent depends on child bundles**.
– So the children **must be built and linked** before the parent can even compile.
– `linklocal` helps make sure the parent sees the child packages like normal dependencies without needing to publish them.

—

### ✅ Your Setup Checklist (in clean order)

Here’s what you’re likely doing in each bundle:

# In each folder (starting from child to parent):
npm cache clean --force
npm i linklocal --force
npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose
npm run build

For the **parent**, you:
– Installed `linklocal` **globally**:

npm install -g linklocal

– And possibly **updated scripts** in `package.json` like:

"scripts": {
    "build": "linklocal && react-scripts build"
  }

—

### What's Next?

To help you work confidently like a pro:
1. ✅ I’ll explain how this architecture works (bottom-up + linklocal).
2. ✅ I’ll guide you with **React concepts** (useState, props, useEffect, etc.) as you start editing components.
3. ✅ I’ll help you **read and understand the code** you’ve been given so it doesn’t feel alien.
4. ✅ I’ll show you **how to debug, use Git, and handle Jira tasks** effectively.

—

Let’s do this step-by-step. Please tell me:
1. Have you finished running `npm install` and `npm run build` in all 3 bundles?
2. What did your mentor ask you to work on after the setup? Any specific component or feature?
3. Are you seeing the codebase clearly, or are you lost in the files right now?

Once you answer that, I’ll tell you exactly what’s happening in the project and what to focus on next 🔥

—

## 🔍 What You’re Actually Doing (Step-by-Step)

### 🧱 You were **not starting a fresh React app**.
You're working on a **company project** that is already built by other developers. So your job is to:

### ✅ 1. **Clone the Existing Code**
You **downloaded the code from GitLab** (either through a `.bat` file or `git clone`), which gave you:

D:bell-canada
  ├── myaccount-landing-common        ← child’s child (base/shared bundle)
  ├── myaccount-landing-internet-overview ← child (middle bundle)
  └── myaccount-internet-overview     ← parent (main UI)

—

### ✅ 2. **Install the Project Dependencies**
Each folder is like a mini React app (or package). Before using them, you must install the required libraries.

That’s what this command does in each bundle:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

> 💡 This reads the `package.json` and downloads all required libraries (like React, Axios, etc.).

—

### ✅ 3. **Link the Bundles Together**
You're using:

npm i linklocal --force

This links local bundles **inside your computer**, so that:
– The parent bundle can **use child bundles** as if they were real npm packages — but without publishing them online.

🔗 For example:
– `myaccount-internet-overview` uses code from `myaccount-landing-internet-overview`
– `myaccount-landing-internet-overview` uses code from `myaccount-landing-common`

So you need to **link and build** from bottom to top:

1. Build myaccount-landing-common ✅
2. Then myaccount-landing-internet-overview ✅
3. Finally myaccount-internet-overview ✅

—

### ✅ 4. **Build the Code**
You run:

npm run build

That means: “Take my code and convert it into optimized static files that the browser can use.”

—

## 🔁 So to summarize:

| Step | What you're doing | Why? |
|———————-|——————————-|——|
| `git clone` / .bat file | Getting the code from GitLab | To work on existing project |
| `npm install` | Installing required libraries | To run the code properly |
| `linklocal` | Linking packages locally | So parent-child bundles work together |
| `npm run build` | Building the code | So it can be previewed or deployed |

—

## 🧠 Next Step
Tell me:
1. Did the build finish without errors for all 3 bundles?
2. What task did your mentor give after this? Open a component? Fix a bug?

Once I know this, I’ll help you **understand the React code itself**, not just setup.

You're doing great — and trust me, this phase is the hardest only once. After that, it’ll all click. 💡

—

> ✅ **I completed the initial project setup** by cloning the codebase and setting up all the bundles.
> 🔁 I followed the bottom-to-top approach:
> – First, installed dependencies and built `myaccount-landing-common`
> – Then, linked and built `myaccount-landing-internet-overview`
> – Finally, built the parent `myaccount-internet-overview`
> 🔗 I used `linklocal` to handle internal package linking and `npm install –legacy-peer-deps` to resolve dependencies.
> 🧱 Everything is now built and ready locally — I’m fully set up to start development.

—

Say it with confidence — you’re ready for the next task. Want me to help you prepare a version for stand-up calls or Jira comments too?

—

## 💡 What is a `.bat` file?

A `.bat` file (short for **batch file**) is a **Windows script file** used to **automate a series of commands** you would normally type manually in the command prompt.

—

### 🧱 Example:
Imagine you need to run these commands every time:

cd D:bell-canadamyaccount-landing-common
npm install
npm run build

Instead of typing them manually every time, you can write them inside a file like this:

:: setup.bat
cd D:bell-canadamyaccount-landing-common
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
npm run build

Then just **double-click the `.bat` file** or run it once — it will **automatically run all those commands** in order.

—

### 📦 In your case:
Your mentor gave you a `.bat` file to:
– Go to specific folders
– Run `npm install`
– Run `linklocal`
– Run `npm run build`

So you didn't have to figure it all out manually — it’s like a ready-made script to speed up setup.

—

### 🔐 Pro tip:
– `.bat` files are only for **Windows**.
– On **Mac/Linux**, the equivalent is a `.sh` (shell script) file.

—

Let me know if you want to see the exact `.bat` file broken down line by line — I can explain what each command is doing in plain language.

> 🔹 **The `.bat` file was used to clone or download the 3 folders** (the parent and child bundles) onto your system.

Let’s explain that clearly:

—

## ✅ What *your* `.bat` file did

In your case, the `.bat` file was **a setup script** given by your mentor to:

1. 📂 **Create the `bell-canada` folder** (if it didn’t exist).
2. 📥 **Clone 3 separate Git repositories** (parent, child, child’s child) from GitLab into:

D:bell-canada
      ├── myaccount-internet-overview
      ├── myaccount-landing-internet-overview
      └── myaccount-landing-common

3. 📌 It may also have:
– Set the right folder names
– Checked out specific branches (like `develop`)
– Optionally installed Node dependencies (e.g. `npm install`)

—

## 🧠 So in simple terms:

> **The `.bat` file automated the initial setup**, so you didn’t need to manually clone each GitLab repo one by one or create folders yourself.

—

### 🗣️ What to say if asked:

> *“The `.bat` file my mentor gave me set up all three bundles by downloading the code from GitLab into the right folder structure on my D: drive. After that, I installed dependencies and built each one from child to parent.”*

—

Let me know if you'd like me to break down the exact `.bat` file code if you have it!

—

## ✅ How You Installed Dependencies

You installed dependencies using the following command:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose

This command was run **inside each bundle folder**, like:

1. `D:bell-canadamyaccount-landing-common`
2. `D:bell-canadamyaccount-landing-internet-overview`
3. `D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overview`

—

### 🧠 What This Command Does

– 📦 `npm install`
→ Downloads all packages listed in `package.json` (React, Axios, etc.) and puts them in a `node_modules` folder.

– ⚠️ `–legacy-peer-deps`
→ Skips strict dependency version checks to avoid errors in older projects with mismatched versions.

– 📝 `–verbose`
→ Gives detailed output in the terminal so you can debug if anything fails.

—

### 🗣️ What to Say if Asked:

> *“I installed all project dependencies for each bundle using `npm install –legacy-peer-deps` to handle peer version issues. This made sure every bundle had the correct packages installed to build successfully.”*

—

Let me know if you'd like to see how `package.json` and `node_modules` actually work — that helps you understand this even deeper 💡

—

## 🧠 Your Project Setup: What You Did and Why (Full Beginner Breakdown)

—

### 🔹 1. **You got a `.bat` file from your mentor**

#### What is a `.bat` file?
– A `.bat` file is like a **script** in Windows.
– It contains commands that automatically run one by one.
– Your `.bat` file **downloaded (cloned)** 3 folders into `D:bell-canada`.

#### What folders?
These:

D:bell-canada
  ├── myaccount-landing-common              ← base code (lowest level)
  ├── myaccount-landing-internet-overview   ← middle level
  └── myaccount-internet-overview           ← top level (main project)

✅ This setup was **already created by your company developers** — your `.bat` file just pulled it to your local system.

—

### 🔹 2. **What is each folder?**

Each folder is like its **own small React project (bundle)**. They are connected like this:

Parent                → myaccount-internet-overview
  └── Child           → myaccount-landing-internet-overview
        └── Grandchild → myaccount-landing-common

✅ These bundles are **connected** — meaning one uses the code from another.

—

### 🔹 3. **What you did after `.bat` file ran**

Now the code is on your computer. But you can’t run it yet!

Every React project needs to install all its required packages first.

So you followed these steps **in each folder (starting from the bottom one)**:

—

### 🧩 Step-by-Step Breakdown

#### ✅ Step 1: Go to the folder

cd D:bell-canadamyaccount-landing-common

#### ✅ Step 2: Clean the npm cache

npm cache clean --force

> 💬 Meaning: “Clear out any old, broken package data from your system”

#### ✅ Step 3: Link local packages

npm i linklocal --force

> 💬 Meaning: “Make this bundle's code available to be used by other local bundles like a shared library.”

#### ✅ Step 4: Install dependencies

npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose

> 💬 Meaning:
> – Download all necessary packages from `package.json`
> – Skip strict version checks (to avoid errors in older setups)
> – Show detailed logs while doing it

Now your project has a folder named `node_modules` — this contains all downloaded packages like React, Axios, etc.

#### ✅ Step 5: Build the project

npm run build

> 💬 Meaning: “Take all your React code and convert it into a format the browser can understand (production build)”

—

### 🔁 Repeat this for each folder:

1. `myaccount-landing-common` ✅
2. `myaccount-landing-internet-overview` ✅
3. `myaccount-internet-overview` ✅

**Always go from bottom to top** because:
– Parent bundles use the code from the child.
– So child must be ready first.

—

## 💬 What to Say in Simple Words:

> *“I got a `.bat` file that cloned three bundles into my system. Each bundle is like a part of a bigger React project. I cleaned the npm cache, linked the bundles locally using `linklocal`, installed all dependencies using `npm install –legacy-peer-deps`, and built the code using `npm run build`. I followed this from bottom to top so all dependencies are linked and built correctly.”*

—

## 🤔 Still Confused About Something?

You can ask me:
– What is `node_modules`?
– What does `npm install` actually do?
– What is `linklocal` in even simpler terms?
– What happens during `npm run build`?
– What should I do next after setup?

Just ask anything — even basic things. I’ll explain it like a friend, not a tutorial.

You’ve mentioned 3 folders:
1. `myaccount-landing-common`
2. `myaccount-landing-internet-overview`
3. `myaccount-internet-overview`

Let’s understand what they are and **what you should call them** in the project or during meetings.

—

## 📦 These are called **bundles** or **modules**

You can confidently refer to them like this:

| Folder Name | What It Is | What You Can Call It |
|—————————————-|————————————|———————————————|
| `myaccount-landing-common` | Shared/common code base | ✅ **Common bundle** or **base bundle** |
| `myaccount-landing-internet-overview` | Middle layer using the common code| ✅ **Child bundle** or **landing bundle** |
| `myaccount-internet-overview` | Final main product UI | ✅ **Parent bundle** or **main bundle** |

—

### 🧠 How they work:
– The **Parent bundle** depends on the **Child bundle**
– The **Child bundle** depends on the **Common bundle**

This is why you’re using a **bottom-to-top approach**:
– Build the base first (common)
– Then the middle one (landing)
– Then the final product (main/parent)

—

## ✅ What to say in meetings:

> *“I’ve completed setup for all three bundles: the common bundle (`myaccount-landing-common`), the landing/internet bundle (`myaccount-landing-internet-overview`), and the main parent bundle (`myaccount-internet-overview`). All dependencies are installed and the bundles are linked and built in bottom-to-top order.”*

—

Let me know if you'd like a simple visual of how they connect or if you want help navigating the code inside them!

—

## ✅ Can we call those 3 folders “repos”?

### 👉 **Yes, absolutely!**

You **can call them repos**, because:

– Each of those folders (`myaccount-internet-overview`, etc.)
was **cloned separately from GitLab** — meaning they came from different **Git repositories**.
– Each has its own `.git` folder and `package.json`, so they are **independent codebases** under version control.

—

### 🔄 Repo vs Bundle vs Module — What’s the Difference?

| Term | Meaning in Your Case | Can You Use It? |
|————-|————————————————–|—————–|
| **Repo** | A Git-controlled folder/project | ✅ YES (most common in meetings/dev talk) |
| **Bundle** | A React package inside your system | ✅ YES (used when talking about project architecture) |
| **Module** | A reusable piece of code inside a bundle (optional term) | ❌ Less clear in this context |
| **Package** | A node-based folder with its own `package.json` | ✅ YES (technically correct) |

—

### 🗣️ What to Say in Team Meetings:
> *“I cloned all three repos — the common, landing, and parent — from GitLab. Then I installed dependencies, linked them locally using linklocal, and built them from bottom to top.”*

—

So yes — calling them **repos** is correct and professional.
✅ Use **“repos”** when talking about the source from GitLab.
✅ Use **“bundles”** when talking about how they work together inside your local project.

—

Let me know if you'd like a visual diagram to remember this hierarchy better!

Just reply to each with 1–2 words or a short sentence. Ready? Let’s begin 💪

—

### 🔹 1. What did the `.bat` file do for you?

—

(Once you answer, I’ll move to the next one!)

Yes — it had commands to **clone the project repos** and maybe some extra setup.

—

### 🔹 2. What are the names of the 3 repos (or bundles) you cloned?
Just list them.

– `myaccount-internet-overview`
– `myaccount-landing-internet-overview`
– `myaccount-landing-common`

Awesome!

—

### 🔹 3. In which **order** did you install and build them?
(Use one word for each: common → landing → parent)

That's the **right approach** — bottom to top.

—

### 🔹 4. What command did you use to install the required packages in each repo?

npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose

Double dashes `–` are important for flags.

—

### 🔹 5. What command did you run to **build** the code in each repo?

—

### 🔹 6. What tool did you use to **link local bundles** together before building the parent?

`linklocal` is used to link local repos so the parent can access code from the child bundles.

—

### 🔹 7. What is the **role of the `myaccount-landing-common`** repo in the project?
(One line answer)

Here's a refined version you can remember or say:

> *“It’s the **base repo** that contains **shared code**, used by the landing repo.”*

—

### 🔹 8. What is created inside each repo after you run `npm install`?
(Hint: it's a folder)

The `node_modules` folder holds all the packages your project needs to run.

—

### 🔹 9. Why do you run `npm run build` after `npm install`?
(One line answer)

To make it complete, you can say:

> *“To generate the `dist` folder — a production-ready build that the browser can run.”*

—

### 🔹 10. What does `–legacy-peer-deps` help you avoid during `npm install`?
(One word or short reason)

> *“It **skips strict version checks** for peer dependencies, so older or mismatched packages don't throw errors.”*

So yes — it **lets the install continue**, even if versions don’t match perfectly.

—

You're doing **awesome**, Ishali! 🙌 Want to continue with a few more to go deeper into React basics now?

—

## 🔄 Why do we run these commands in this **specific order**?

Let’s break it down clearly and simply:

—

### ✅ 1. **Bottom-to-Top Build Order**
– Your project is made up of **3 repos** that are **dependent on each other**.

myaccount-internet-overview         ← depends on
└── myaccount-landing-internet-overview   ← depends on
    └── myaccount-landing-common          ← base code

So if you try to build the **parent** before the **child is ready**, it will fail — because it won’t find the child’s code.

—

### ✅ 2. Step-by-Step Meaning

#### ✅ `npm cache clean –force`
> Cleans up old npm data to avoid installation bugs or corrupt cache.

#### ✅ `npm install –legacy-peer-deps –verbose`
> Installs all the required packages listed in `package.json`.
> `–legacy-peer-deps` avoids version conflict errors.

#### ✅ `linklocal`
> This makes your local repos talk to each other as if they were installed npm packages.
> Without this, the parent won’t find the child’s code.

#### ✅ `npm run build`
> Once all dependencies are ready and linked, this compiles the React code to a usable format (usually into a `dist/` folder).

—

## 🧠 Summary

> 🧩 **Bottom-to-top install + build is needed** so each repo is prepared before the one that depends on it.
> ⚙️ **linklocal connects the repos together** like puzzle pieces.
> 🛠️ **Build only works if all pieces are linked and installed first**.

—

Would you like me to show this flow as a simple diagram or checklist next?

Let me explain it step-by-step again — super clearly:

—

## 🚀 Why You Need a Simple Web Server

After you run:

npm run build

It creates a **`dist/` folder** (or sometimes `build/`), which contains static HTML, CSS, and JS files. But:

❌ You can’t just double-click `index.html` to test it — React needs routing and server support.
✅ So you use a **simple web server** to "host" the built files locally.

—

## ✅ Step-by-Step: How to Set It Up

You’ll now install a tool called `serve` to act as a mini local server.

—

### 🔹 Step 1: Install the simple web server globally

npm install -g serve

> This installs the `serve` tool globally so you can use it anywhere in your system.

—

### 🔹 Step 2: Go to the built folder (like `dist` or `build`)

cd D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewdist

(Use `build` instead of `dist` if your folder is named that way)

—

### 🔹 Step 3: Run the server

serve -s .

> This means: “Serve this current folder statically (`-s` means single-page app mode)”

—

## ✅ What Happens

– Your app will run on a local URL like:
`http://localhost:3000` or `http://localhost:5000`

Now you can **see your built app in the browser!** 🎉

—

### 🗣️ What to say if your manager asks:

> *“After building all the bundles, I installed a simple static server using `serve` and used it to preview the built project locally via `http://localhost`.”*

—

Let me know if:
– You need help with a `.env` file or API base URL
– The `serve` command shows an error
– Or you want a shortcut `.bat` file to run the server next time with one click ✅

—

> ✅ *I cloned all 3 repos, installed dependencies using `npm install –legacy-peer-deps`, linked them with `linklocal`, and built each one from bottom to top. Then I installed `serve` and successfully ran the project locally on a simple web server. Setup is fully done.*

—

Let me know if you want a shorter version for a stand-up meeting too!

—

> ✅ *I’ve cloned all 3 repos, installed dependencies with `npm install –legacy-peer-deps`, linked them using `linklocal`, and built them bottom to top. The next step is setting up the simple web server using `serve`, which I’ll complete next.*

—

Want one-line or stand-up style version too?

Now let me know how to install that , I have downloaded simple web server fir now

—

## ✅ How to Install and Use the Simple Web Server (.exe version)

You probably downloaded something like:
📦 `SimpleWebServer.exe`

—

### 🔹 Step 1: **Double-click the EXE file**
– It will either **open directly** or **ask to install** (depending on the version).
– If it opens a UI, you’re good to go — no full installation needed!

—

### 🔹 Step 2: **Choose your build folder**
– In the Simple Web Server interface, there will be an option to choose a **root folder**.
– Browse and select:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewdist

(Or `build` folder if that’s the one generated)

—

### 🔹 Step 3: **Start the server**
– Click the **“Start”** or **“Launch”** button.
– The app will show a local URL, like:

http://localhost:8000

—

### 🔹 Step 4: **Open that URL in the browser**
– Your built React app will now be live locally ✅

—

## 🗣️ What to tell your manager:

> *“I’ve downloaded the Simple Web Server tool from SharePoint. My next step is to serve the built app locally by pointing the server to the `dist` folder and starting it to preview the output.”*

—

Let me know the exact filename or show me the UI (if you want help picking options). I’ll guide you from there in seconds!

—

### ✅ Option 1: Use the Desktop App or Website
– If you're using the **ChatGPT mobile app**, look for a **paperclip 📎 icon** or **image icon** in the message box.
– If you're using **ChatGPT in a browser**, try switching to **desktop mode** or using a **laptop/desktop** — you’ll see the image upload option just below the message input area.

—

### ✅ Option 2: Describe the Image
If you're unable to upload right now, you can also:
– Type what you see on the screen
– Mention the buttons or options visible (e.g., "I see 'Choose Folder', 'Start', and a port number")

—

As soon as you're able to upload or describe, I’ll guide you step-by-step!

Let me break it down clearly so you know exactly what to do:

—

## ✅ Step-by-Step: Running the Bundle Using Simple Web Server

### 🔹 1. Open the Simple Web Server (you downloaded it earlier)
You should see options like:

– **Edit Server**
– **Web server URL**
– **Folder path**
– **Port (e.g. 8080)**

—

### 🔹 2. Fill the fields like this:

| Field | What to Enter |
|——————|——————————————————————————-|
| **Folder path** | Select the path to your final built bundle (e.g. `dist` folder of parent repo)
Example:
`D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewdist` (or `build`) |
| **Port** | Choose any free port like `8080`, `8888`, or `9999` |
| **Accessible on local network** | Leave it **checked** if you want others on same Wi-Fi to see it |

Then click **“Save Changes”** and then **“Start”** or **“Run”** depending on your version.

—

### 🔹 3. Open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:8080

You should see your React app running!

—

## ⚠️ If Simple Web Server Doesn't Work

Then you can use **IIS (Internet Information Services)** — which is built into Windows.

### 🧭 Steps for IIS (Backup Option)

1. **Open IIS Manager** (press Windows key, type `IIS`, click **Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager**)
2. Go to `Sites` → Right-click → **Add Website**
3. Fill in:
– **Site name**: e.g. `BellReact`
– **Physical path**: `D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewdist`
– **Port**: `9999` (or any unused one)

4. Click OK
5. Open your browser:

http://localhost:9999

✅ Done!

## 🔄 Bonus: Resource Override Extension

– Install [Resource Override Chrome Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/resource-override/)

This is used if you want to **override files locally while using a live site**, without modifying the real server.

—

Let me know:
– If you want help choosing the correct folder path
– If Simple Web Server UI looks different on your screen
– Or if you want to try IIS setup together step-by-step

You're very close to running your React app locally — let’s do it! 🚀

Ots showing this

Actually I have created the server

—

## 🔐 What’s Happening?

You’re seeing a **Windows Security Firewall prompt**:

> “Do you want to allow this app to communicate on public and private networks?”

✅ This is triggered because the Simple Web Server is trying to **serve your app at `localhost:PORT`** and maybe allow local network access.

—

## ✅ What You Should Do:

Click:

✔️ Allow (for Private Networks only)

> 🔒 Only allow on **Private networks** (like your home or office).
> ❌ Do **not check Public networks** (like cafés or airports) — for security reasons.

—

## 🟢 Result:
Once you click **Allow**, your web server will stay running and you can access your app locally.

Open browser and go to:

http://localhost:8080

(or whichever port you selected)

You should now see your **React app running from your build** 🎉

—

Let me know:
– If you want to test API calls now
– If the app doesn't load on localhost
– Or if you want to set up this server to auto-start next time

You're just a few clicks away from completion — awesome job so far!

I clicked one of the link

And its shiwing this

What you’re seeing now is the **directory listing** of your folder on the Simple Web Server. It means:

✅ The server is working
✅ It’s serving your folder contents
❌ But you're not yet inside the actual React app — you're just seeing the raw file list

—

## 🔧 Why it's showing “Index of /” instead of your app?

Because the **default folder you selected contains multiple things** (`dist/`, `node_modules/`, etc.) — not just the app’s final output.

—

## ✅ What You Should Do Now

### 🔹 1. Go back to Simple Web Server
– Look at the setting where it asks for the folder path
– Change it to:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewdist

**Not the root folder** like `D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overview`, but directly the `dist` folder (the one that got built from `npm run build`)

—

### 🔹 2. Save and Restart Server
– Click **Save Changes**
– Click **Stop**, then **Start** again

—

### 🔹 3. Open in Browser
Now go to:

http://localhost:8080

(or `http://10.131.234.9:8080` if you're on the network IP)

You should now see your actual **React app interface**, not the file list.

—

## 🗣️ What to say if someone asks:

> *“The server was running fine, but the root path was incorrect. I updated it to serve the `dist` folder directly, and now the built app is loading correctly in the browser.”*

Let me know if you're unsure which `dist` is correct — we can confirm it by checking what's inside.

Now showing this

Now you're seeing the **final built JS files** from your React app — that means:

✅ Your build was successful
✅ Your Simple Web Server is serving the correct folder
✅ The app is ready to be launched in the browser

BUT…

❌ You’re still seeing a file listing, **not the running app** (e.g., not `index.html` rendered as a full webpage).

—

## ✅ What To Do Now (Final Step)

You're in the **dist folder**, but your browser is showing file list instead of loading `index.html`.

### 🔹 1. Open this in your browser manually:

Try visiting:

http://10.131.234.9:8080/index.html

✅ This should load your actual **React app interface** now.

—

## 🛠 If It Works:
Great — you're done! 🎉 Your app is running via local web server.

—

## 🛠 If It Still Shows File Listing:
You may need to **enable SPA mode** (Single Page Application) in Simple Web Server.

### Look for an option called:

✅ Serve index.html for all routes (SPA Mode)

Or:

Start in Single Page App mode (or: -s flag)

If it's there, check it, restart the server, and now go to:

http://10.131.234.9:8080

—

## 🗣️ What You Can Now Say:

> *“The build generated the final bundle files, and I’m now serving the `dist` folder. The app is accessible at `http://10.131.234.9:8080/index.html`. I’ll enable SPA mode next if routing is needed.”*

—

Let me know if it opens after visiting `/index.html` or if you want help enabling SPA mode. You're at the very end of the setup now — awesome job! 💪

http://10.131.234.9:8080/index.html

…and it shows **"Not Found"**, that means the `index.html` file is **not present in the folder** you pointed your web server to.

—

## 🔍 Let’s Debug in 3 Quick Steps:

### ✅ Step 1: Check if `index.html` exists
Go to:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewdist

Look inside the folder. Do you see a file named:

index.html

If yes → great.
If no → the build didn't generate a full web app; it only generated JS bundles (maybe it’s a **library bundle**, not a UI).

—

### 🔄 Step 2: Confirm what type of project it is

Ask yourself:

❓ Was this a **library-only project** that generates `.js` bundles for another app to consume?

❓ Or is it a full React app with its own UI and routing?

If it's only generating these files:

myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js
myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.min.js

…and **no `index.html`**, then it’s likely a **library bundle**, not a standalone app.

—

### ✅ Step 3: What to do next

If there's no `index.html`, do this:

### 🗣️ Say to your manager or mentor:

> *“The build generated only JS bundle files, not a full app with index.html. This looks like a library bundle meant to be consumed by another app. Should I integrate this in the parent shell or proceed to serve it some other way?”*

—

Or let me know:
– Can you upload or paste your `package.json` here?
– Or want me to help check which bundle is the actual UI?

I’ll help you find the **real starting point** for the app preview.

This is a **very common front-end testing technique**, especially in big companies like Bell.

—

## ✅ What You're Being Asked to Do

You're not previewing the app directly — instead, you are:

> 🧠 **Replacing the original JS file from the live environment with your locally built version using Resource Override in Chrome**.

This way, you can test your code in the **real environment** without deploying it.

—

## 🧩 Steps to Use Resource Override

### 🔹 Step 1: Install the Chrome Extension
– Install this: [Resource Override (Chrome Web Store)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/resource-override/)

—

### 🔹 Step 2: Open the Live App (where the original JS file is used)
– For example:

https://some.bellcanada.internal.site/myaccount

Let the site fully load.

—

### 🔹 Step 3: Open DevTools → Go to "Resource Override" Tab
– Open Chrome DevTools (`F12`)
– You’ll see a new tab: **"Resource Override"**

—

### 🔹 Step 4: Enable Override
– ✅ Turn ON “Enable Overrides”
– Click **“+ Add”**

—

### 🔹 Step 5: Match and Replace the Live JS File
– Look in **Network Tab** → Find the **live JS file** like:

https://cdn.bell.com/assets/myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

– Add a match rule like:

*myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

– In the right pane → Click **“Browse…”** → Select the **locally built file** from:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewdistmyaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

—

### 🔹 Step 6: Reload the Page
– Hit refresh (`Ctrl + R`)
– Now your **local JS bundle will load instead of the real one** — so you can test your changes live.

—

## 🗣️ What to Say if Asked:

> *“I’ve built the local JS bundle and used the Resource Override extension in Chrome to replace the production JS file with my local one for testing.”*

—

Let me know:
– If you want help matching the exact file name
– If override isn’t working or file isn’t replacing correctly
– Or if you want screenshots/visual help

You're doing exactly what real enterprise developers do — great progress! 🔥

To use **Resource Override**, you need to find the **original JS file’s URL** that your browser loads from the live site — this is what we’ll "match" and override with your local file.

—

## 🔍 How to Find the Match URL (Step-by-Step)

### ✅ Step 1: Open the live Bell Canada site you're working with
Your mentor may have shared a URL like:

https://something.bell.ca/myaccount

Open that site in **Google Chrome**.

—

### ✅ Step 2: Open Chrome DevTools

– Press `F12` or `Ctrl + Shift + I` to open **DevTools**
– Go to the **Network** tab

—

### ✅ Step 3: Reload the Page

– Press `Ctrl + R` (refresh)
– Let all files load in the **Network tab**

—

### ✅ Step 4: Search for Your JS File

In the **Network** tab:
– Press `Ctrl + F`
– Type part of your file name like:

myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle

You'll see a file like:

https://cdn.bell.ca/assets/js/myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

That full URL (or its last part) is what you will use in Resource Override.

—

### ✅ Step 5: Copy the Match URL

Now go to the **Resource Override** tab:
– Click **Add**
– For **Match URL**, enter:

*myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

That `*` at the start means "any URL ending with this filename" — it's a wildcard.

Then upload your local file from:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewdistmyaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

—

## ✅ Done!

Now refresh the site again — it will use your local JS file instead of the original one from the server.

—

Let me know:
– If you can't find the JS file in Network tab
– Or you want help confirming which `.js` file to match and override

You're doing advanced dev stuff — great job pushing forward! 👏

—

## 🔍 Problem: "Bundles" folder not generated in parent repo

Everyone else sees something like:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewBundles

But in your case — it’s missing.

—

## 🧠 Why is this folder created?

The `Bundles/` folder is usually:
– **Auto-created during `npm run build`** in the parent repo
– It contains the **final compiled JavaScript output** that other teams override or upload
– Often created by a line in `webpack.config.js` or `build.js` that writes output to `Bundles`

—

## ✅ Let’s Debug Step-by-Step

### 🔹 1. Did your `npm run build` finish successfully in parent bundle?

If **yes** → move to step 2.
If **no** → share the error, and I’ll help fix that first.

—

### 🔹 2. Check your `package.json` in parent folder

Look for the build script:

"scripts": {
  "build": "webpack --config webpack.config.js"  // or similar
}

✅ If it uses webpack, then the output path is defined inside `webpack.config.js`.

—

### 🔹 3. Open `webpack.config.js` (in `myaccount-internet-overview`)

Look for:

output: {
  path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'Bundles'),
  filename: 'myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js',
}

If that `path: 'Bundles'` is missing or incorrect, the folder won’t be created.

—

## ✅ What You Can Do Now:

### Option 1: Run the build again and check the logs

npm run build

Carefully look for lines like:

Asset      Size  Chunks             Chunk Names
myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js  1.8 MiB

If it shows paths like:

dist/

Then it means it’s writing into `dist`, not `Bundles`.

—

### Option 2: Manually create the `Bundles/` folder (not preferred, but works for override)
If everything is built correctly and you just need the file for **Resource Override**, you can:

1. Create a folder:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewBundles

2. Copy the file:

dist/myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

into:

Bundles/

Then use this for overriding.

—

## 🗣️ What to Tell Your Mentor:

> *“My build succeeded but the Bundles folder wasn’t created automatically. I’m checking the `webpack.config.js` to confirm the output path. If needed, I can move the JS manually into Bundles for Resource Override.”*

—

Let me know:
– What your `webpack.config.js` shows
– Or paste your `package.json` `scripts` block here — I’ll guide you exactly what to fix

You’ve done all the hard work — this is the last 5% 🛠️🔥

So the **`Bundles` folder should be created inside**:

D:bell-canadaBundles

Not inside `myaccount-internet-overview`.

—

## ✅ That Means:

Your project’s **final built output (the `.js` file)** is supposed to go into this shared path:

D:bell-canadaBundlesmyaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

This is done so **everyone’s final JS files from different bundles sit together in one common `Bundles` folder** — used for Resource Override.

—

## 🔍 Why It Didn't Happen for You?

Probably because the **`webpack.config.js` or build script in your parent bundle** didn’t point to the correct output path (`../../Bundles` from your current repo).

—

## ✅ Here's What You Should Do:

### 🔹 Step 1: Open `webpack.config.js` (inside `myaccount-internet-overview` folder)

Look for this block:

output: {
  path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../Bundles'), // This should point to bell-canada/Bundles
  filename: 'myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js',
}

If it's pointing to `dist/` or something else, change it to the above.

—

### 🔹 Step 2: Re-run the build

npm run build

Now check:

D:bell-canadaBundles

You should see:

myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

—

## 🗣️ What to Say:

> *“In our setup, the `Bundles` folder is created in the main `bell-canada` directory. My webpack output path wasn’t set correctly, so I’ve updated it to point to `../../Bundles` and re-ran the build. The bundle is now generated in the correct location.”*

—

Let me know:
– If you want help editing your `webpack.config.js`
– Or want to confirm the output path in your config — I’ll guide you line by line

You're doing really well in navigating this complex setup, Ishali! 🔥

—

## ✅ Your Mentor’s Instruction:

> “Make a small code change → rebuild → and check if that change appears on the UI using Resource Override.”

—

### 🧩 Here's Exactly What You Should Do (Final Test)

—

### 🔹 Step 1: Make a Small Visible Change

Open any visible React component inside the **parent bundle**, for example:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overviewsrccomponentsHeader.js

🔧 Add something obvious like:

<h1>Hello Ishali Test ✅</h1>

Or change some text that is already visible in the UI.

—

### 🔹 Step 2: Rebuild the Parent Bundle

Run:

npm run build

This will regenerate the file:

D:bell-canadaBundlesmyaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

—

### 🔹 Step 3: Refresh Your Live App with Resource Override

1. Make sure **Resource Override** is ON
2. It should be replacing the **exact same filename**
3. Refresh the live site (`Ctrl + R`)

✅ Now you should see your updated text or UI change.

—

## 🧠 What You’ve Proven:

– Your local changes work ✔️
– Your build process is correct ✔️
– Your override setup is correct ✔️
– You can now **safely test and develop features** without affecting the live server ✔️

—

## 🗣️ What to Say to Mentor:

> *“I made a visible change in the component, rebuilt the parent bundle, and confirmed the change is reflected on the live UI through Resource Override. Setup is complete and working as expected.”*

—

Let me know:
– What file you want to change (I’ll suggest what line to edit)
– Or if you want help confirming your change appears in the browser

You’re officially acting like a real enterprise front-end dev now — well done, Ishali 👑💻

—

## ✅ You're Making Changes in the **Middle Child**
> `myaccount-landing-internet-overview`

So now the question is:
**Do you need to build only the middle child, or also the parent?**

—

## 🔁 Here’s the Real Flow:

### ✅ You MUST:
1. **Build the middle child** → This generates its new output
2. **Then build the parent** → Because the parent depends on the child bundle!

—

### 🔹 Why?

Your React setup is **modular** and uses `linklocal`, so:

– When you build the **middle child**, it compiles the changes into its output
– But the **parent bundle** pulls code from the child
– So you must **rebuild the parent** so it includes the **latest changes from child**

—

## ✅ Final Steps You Need To Follow:

1. Go to:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-landing-internet-overview

Run:

npm run build

2. Then go to:

D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overview

Run:

npm run build

3. Now check if the bundle is updated at:

D:bell-canadaBundlesmyaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

4. Use **Resource Override** to check the UI

—

## 🗣️ What You Can Tell Your Mentor:

> *“I made changes in the middle child (`myaccount-landing-internet-overview`), rebuilt it, and then rebuilt the parent bundle to ensure it picks up the changes. I verified the update through Resource Override.”*

—

Let me know if:
– You’re not sure which file to edit in the middle child
– Or if the change isn’t showing after build — I’ll debug it with you live 💪

If the file is showing **red in VS Code**, it usually means one of the following things:

—

## 🔴 What “Red File Name” in VS Code Means

### ✅ Most Common Reason:
> **The file is not added to Git yet** (it's *untracked*).

VS Code uses color indicators from Git:

| Color | Meaning |
|————-|————————————-|
| 🔴 Red | File is untracked (not added to Git) |
| 🟡 Yellow | File is modified but not committed |
| 🟢 Green | File is staged (added to Git, but not committed) |

—

## 🧠 Why It’s Red Even If You Didn’t Touch It?

There are two main reasons:

### 1. **Someone added the file recently, but you haven’t staged/committed it yet**
VS Code tracks Git status even if you just cloned the repo.

### 2. **You ran `npm install` or build, and that auto-generated or modified something**
Some tools touch files during build — even if you didn’t.

—

## ✅ What You Can Do

### Option 1: Check with Git
Open terminal in that repo folder and run:

git status

This will show:
– Which files are untracked
– Which are modified
– Which are staged

### Option 2: Just ignore it (for now)
If you're not pushing anything to Git, you can ignore the red color — it’s just a **Git visual indicator**, not an error.

—

## 🗣️ What to Say if Mentor Asks:

> *“The file is showing red because it's untracked in Git, not because of a code change. I haven’t made any modifications to it yet.”*

—

Let me know the file name showing red if you're unsure — I’ll tell you exactly why it's marked and if it's safe to leave it as-is. You're doing a great job watching the small details now — that’s how pros think! ✅

—

## 🔗 What does this command do?

npm i linklocal --force

### ✅ In simple words:

> It installs the `linklocal` tool, which helps link your **local child bundles** together, so the **parent can use them like npm packages**, without publishing them online.

—

## 🧠 In Your Project (Bell Canada)

You have 3 repos:
– `myaccount-landing-common` ← child’s child
– `myaccount-landing-internet-overview` ← child
– `myaccount-internet-overview` ← parent

When you run `linklocal` in the **parent** repo:

> It scans `package.json` for any dependencies that match **local folders** and **creates symlinks** (shortcuts) to them.

—

## 🧩 Example:

Suppose your `package.json` in parent has this:

"dependencies": {
  "myaccount-landing-internet-overview": "file:../myaccount-landing-internet-overview"
}

Then `linklocal`:
– Automatically links that folder
– So the parent can use the child code like a real npm package
– Without running `npm publish`

—

## 🔄 So the Full Process Looks Like:

1. `npm install` – installs all external packages
2. `npm i linklocal –force` – links local child bundles (important for dev setup)
3. `npm run build` – now that everything’s linked, you can build

—

## 🗣️ What to Say in Stand-Up or to Mentor:

> *“I used `linklocal` to link local child repos to the parent bundle, so the parent can import and build using locally updated code from the children.”*

—

Let me know if you want to see a real `package.json` example from your folder — I’ll explain it line-by-line!

Let me explain the difference in plain language:

—

## 🔄 `npm i` vs `npm i linklocal –force`

| Command | What It Does |
|——————————|——————————————————————————|
| `npm i` (or `npm install`) | ✅ Downloads **external packages** from the internet based on `package.json` |
| `npm i linklocal –force` | ✅ Installs the **`linklocal` tool** (not your project packages) |

—

### 🧠 So in your flow:

1. `npm install`
→ Gets **React, Axios, etc.** from npm registry

2. `npm i linklocal –force`
→ Installs the **linklocal CLI tool** to your current project

3. Then you **run** the tool (usually it auto-runs in a script or manually like):

npx linklocal

→ This **links local folders as dependencies**, instead of downloading from npm

—

## ✅ In Summary:

– `npm i` = Install all required packages listed in your project
– `npm i linklocal –force` = Install a special tool called `linklocal` to link your **local repos together**
– `linklocal` ≠ `npm install` → they do **different jobs**

—

Let me know if you'd like to see a quick demo of what `linklocal` does using a real example from your Bell folders — I can break it down with visuals!

—

## 🔍 You did **not** run `npm i` — only:

npm i linklocal --force
npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose

And that’s **perfectly correct** — here’s why 👇

—

## ✅ `npm install –legacy-peer-deps` = **Same as `npm i`**, just safer for older projects

So when you ran:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose

You **actually DID install all dependencies**, just like `npm i` would.

### 🔧 The extra flags mean:

– `–legacy-peer-deps`
→ Skip strict version conflicts that can happen in large, old projects (like Bell Canada’s codebase)

– `–verbose`
→ Show detailed logs while installing (for debugging)

—

### 🔄 So in simple terms:

✅ You **did install everything properly**.
You just used a **safer version** of `npm i`.

—

## 🧠 Final Summary for You:

| What you did | What it means |
|———————————-|—————————————-|
| `npm i linklocal –force` | Installed the tool to link local repos |
| `npm install –legacy-peer-deps` | Installed all external project packages ✅ |

—

So don’t worry — **you didn’t miss anything.** You actually followed the correct and recommended path for this project. ✅

Let me know if you'd like a quick recap message you can send to your mentor!

Let’s fix it fast. 👇

—

## 🛠️ Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

### ✅ Step 1: Check if you're using **correct dashes**

Many times, the delay happens because of **copy-paste error from documentation** — long dashes (`—`) instead of normal dashes (`–`).

#### ✅ Correct command:

npm i linklocal --force

❌ Incorrect (what you might be running):

npm i linklocal —force   ← ← this uses the wrong dash (Mac-style or Word dash)

> 🔧 Re-type the dashes manually to be sure.

—

### ✅ Step 2: Try Installing It Globally (if local is stuck)
If it still hangs, install it globally instead:

npm install -g linklocal

This avoids writing it into `node_modules` and makes it usable anywhere.

—

### ✅ Step 3: Clean Cache and Retry
Sometimes a corrupted npm cache causes hanging:

npm cache clean --force
npm install linklocal --force

—

### ✅ Step 4: Use `npx` (best option)
You don’t always need to install `linklocal` — just run it directly like this:

npx linklocal

This skips installation completely and still works perfectly for linking local repos.

—

## 🧠 What’s the Best Way for You Right Now?

Run this instead of waiting:

npx linklocal

It does exactly what you need, instantly — and you don’t have to install anything.

—

## 🗣️ What to Tell Mentor (if asked):

> *“I used `npx linklocal` directly instead of `npm i` since the install was stuck. It worked fine and linked the local bundles correctly.”*

—

Let me know if it's still hanging after trying this — I’ll help you clean everything and fix it in minutes. You're very close to full smooth setup! ✅

—

## ✅ What Happened

You were done with the setup, **but**:

– 🔍 While checking if the UI reflects your changes (for Anjaneya),
– ❌ He noticed **some dependencies were missing**
– ❌ The **Bundles** folder wasn’t created (which means the final JS bundle wasn’t generated)

So he asked you to **re-do the full setup from scratch** to make sure everything works properly.

—

## 🧼 Here’s Exactly What You Should Do Now (Clean Reset Step-by-Step)

I’ll give you a full fresh process — **follow this exactly**:

—

### 🔹 STEP 1: Delete `node_modules` and `package-lock.json` from all 3 repos

In:
– `myaccount-landing-common`
– `myaccount-landing-internet-overview`
– `myaccount-internet-overview`

Delete:
– `node_modules/` folder
– `package-lock.json` file

This ensures a clean install.

—

### 🔹 STEP 2: Clear npm cache

Run this once:

npm cache clean --force

—

### 🔹 STEP 3: Reinstall from bottom to top

Start in this order:

#### 🔸 1. `myaccount-landing-common`

cd D:bell-canadamyaccount-landing-common
npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose
npm run build

#### 🔸 2. `myaccount-landing-internet-overview`

cd D:bell-canadamyaccount-landing-internet-overview
npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose
npm run build

#### 🔸 3. `myaccount-internet-overview` (Parent)

cd D:bell-canadamyaccount-internet-overview
npm install --legacy-peer-deps --verbose
npx linklocal        ← (Use this instead of install)
npm run build

### 🔹 STEP 4: Check for Bundles folder

After building the **parent**, check if this exists:

D:bell-canadaBundlesmyaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

✅ If yes: You're done!

—

## 🧠 Why Start From Scratch?

Because sometimes:
– A partial install causes broken dependencies
– `linklocal` doesn’t link properly unless clean
– The build skips files or uses old versions

—

## 🗣️ What to Say to Anjaneya (after you're done):

> *“I deleted all node_modules and lock files, cleaned npm cache, and reinstalled everything from bottom to top. I built all three bundles and confirmed the Bundles folder and local override are working correctly.”*

—

Let me know if you want a one-line `.bat` file or script to speed this up. You're going to get it right this time — and impress Anjaneya too 👏

I have to tell my manager

—

> *“I had completed the setup earlier, but while validating the UI changes yesterday (as suggested by Anjaneya), we noticed some missing dependencies and the `Bundles` folder wasn’t generated. So based on his suggestion, I’ve started the full setup process again from scratch to ensure everything is linked, built, and working properly.”*

—

### Optional one-liner for a stand-up or chat:
> *“Re-running full setup from scratch — previous build had missing dependencies and no `Bundles` folder.”*

Let me know if you want a version in Hindi-English mix or something even shorter!

## 🔄 Why are we using **Resource Override**?

### ✅ Simple Answer:

> To **test our local code changes** on the **real Bell Canada website** (or staging environment) **without deploying** anything.

—

### 🧠 Real-World Reason:

In big companies like Bell:
– You can’t just deploy code to the live or staging server anytime.
– But you still need to test how your updated JS code behaves in the **real UI** with real APIs, login, user flows, etc.

So instead of deploying…

### 🔧 You **override the JS file in the browser** with your local build

Using **Resource Override**, you tell Chrome:

> “Hey browser, whenever the site asks for `myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js`, don’t use the one from the server — use my local one instead.”

—

## 🔍 Example

The live Bell site loads:

https://cdn.bell.ca/Bundles/myaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

You override it with your local file:

D:bell-canadaBundlesmyaccount-internet-overview-vrf-bundle.js

So your changes show up **instantly** in the live UI — without touching the real server.

—

## ✅ Summary: Why You’re Using Resource Override

| Reason | Benefit |
|———————————-|————————————-|
| To test your changes | Without pushing to Git or deploy |
| Use your local `.js` bundle | On the real live/staging site |
| Fast iteration and debugging | No waiting for CI/CD pipelines |

—

## 🗣️ What to Tell Your Manager:

> *“We use Resource Override to locally test updated bundle files in the real environment without deployment. It helps speed up testing and avoid unnecessary server updates.”*
