React: Run on production without build

Question

Before a deployment to production environment, people usually compile, build and compress react code. I know that makes file less-size and makes site faster.

I am working for a fast iterative project now and some time I need to check the issue even on production server. So, I assume if there is a solution to run my development app just as local style.

If I just use 'npm install', 'npm start' command on the production server, I think it should work. However, I am not sure if it is stable and I hope I can use normal deployment tool, such as IIS etc.

Here my question is: is there any way to run development code on IIS?

Thanks in advance. :)

Here's an example:

It's ES6 + React.js all in a static HTML, all transpiled by Babel in the browser.

Nowadays ES6 is supported natively, and the above can be simplified.
