Getting Started

This setup allows for a Node/Express/React app which can be easily deployed to Heroku.

The front-end React app will auto-reload as it's updated via webpack dev server, and the backend Express app will auto-reload independently with nodemon.

Starting the app locally

Start by installing front and backend dependencies. While in this directory, run the following commands:

npm install
cd client
npm install
cd ..

After both installations complete, run the following command in your terminal:

npm start

That's it, your app should be running on http://localhost:3000. The Express server should intercept any AJAX requests from the client.

Deployment (Heroku)

After confirming that you have an up to date git repository and a Heroku app created, complete the following:

  1. Build the React app for production by running the following command:
npm run build
  1. Add and commit all changes to git

  2. Push to Heroku

If all previous steps were followed correctly, your application should be deployed to Heroku!
