Netlify should automatically deploy React applications

[ProchaLu]

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Currently, Netlify requires additional steps to deploy a React application. When using Netlify, the deployment settings are empty, and students have to enter the build command and publish directory manually. This can be confusing and time-consuming for students who are unfamiliar with the deployment process.

Previously, Netlify used the default commands, so there were no additional steps required to deploy a React project. This made it easier to get started with deploying their React applications.

The Netlify docs does not specify the default build command, but the default base directory is the root directory /.

Describe the solution you'd like

Netlify should automatically deploy React applications without manually writing the build command and publish directory. This would make it easier for students to deploy their React projects to Netlify.

Alternative solutions

Option 1: Create additional steps on the Learning Platform for the deployment of a React app on Netlify. This would involve adding new instructions and tutorials to the Learning Platform that explain how to deploy React apps to Netlify.

Option 2: Automatically add a netlify.toml file to the React app with the build command and publish command when initializing the project with pnpm create @upleveled/react-app@latest .
