Do i need to always connect to internet when creating or working on react app?

Question

I am starting to learn a framework i was just curious if i need to have internet connection in working with create-react-app

Answer 1

To create the react project, you will need internet connection so npx would download all the dependencies for create-react-app.

But as soon as your project is configured (and if you won't do any backend/API request) you'll no longer need internet connection, your project will be running on localhost.
