• Completely customizable: Users have the ability to customize the tool according to their needs, including options for static site export, data fetching, CSS-in-JS support, and more.
• Export static sites: x0 allows users to export their React components as static sites, which can be hosted anywhere.

Installation

To install x0, follow these steps:

1. Create a “docs” folder in your project directory.

2. Add an “index.js” file inside the “docs” folder.

3. Start a development server by running the following command in your project directory:

   npx create-react-app my-app
   

4. To add more pages, create a new component for each route. For example, create an “about” page:

   import React from 'react';
   
   const About = () => {
     return <h1>About Page</h1>;
   }
   
   export default About;
   

5. The “about” page should now render when navigating to http://localhost:8080/about.
