Create-react-app: Best way to load a folder of static files?

[lightninglu10]

I'm using a library that requires me to load a full folder of static files. It takes in a URL like localhost:3000/static/folder/ and then it reads in all of those files in that folder (it will read localhost:3000/static/folder/index.html, etc).

What's the best way to do this with create-react-app? I can host this files somewhere else but I'd like to host them in the same app.

Oh, so today I learned this is what the public folder is for.

Just stick whatever folder you want loaded in the public folder.

Yep, that works! Glad you figured it out.
