Then the very last step is to publish our app by pushing the Heroku Git remote we just added using: git push heroku masterĬongratulations! Our full-stack React and Node app is live! 🎉 Heroku git:remote -a insert-your-app-name-here The following four commands will initialize a new Git repo for our project, add our files to it, commit them, and add a Git remote for Heroku. Once you have logged in, just need to follow the deployment instructions for our created app in the "Deploy" tab. Once that's installed, you will log in to Heroku through the CLI using the heroku login command: heroku login
#NOTEAPP WITH GITHUB BACKEND INSTALL#
We can install the CLI by running: sudo npm i -g heroku Once you are signed in and are looking at your dashboard, you'll select New > Create New App and provide a unique app name.Īfter that, you'll want to install the Heroku CLI on your computer so you can deploy your app whenever you make any changes using Git. 14.15.4): // server/package.jsonĪfter this, we're ready to deploy using Heroku, so make sure you have an account at. You can get your Node version by running node -v and you can put the result in "engines" (i.e. I would also recommend providing a field called "engines", where you want to specific the Node version you are using to build your project. "build": "cd client & npm install & npm run build"
#NOTEAPP WITH GITHUB BACKEND HOW TO#
Then we can tell our Node App how to do that by adding a build script to our server package.json file that builds our React app for production: // server/package.json

#NOTEAPP WITH GITHUB BACKEND CODE#
This code allows our React and Node app to be deployed together on the same domain. This code will first allow Node to access our built React project using the express.static function for static files.Īnd if a GET request comes in that is not handled by our /api route, our server will respond with our React app. Res.sendFile(path.resolve(_dirname, './client/build', 'index.html')) All other GET requests not handled before will return our React app server/index.jsĬonsole.log(`Server listening on $) We'll use Express to create a simple web server for us which runs on port 3001 if no value is given for the environment variable PORT (Heroku will set this value when we deploy our app). In it, we'll place a single file, out of which we'll run our server: index.js. Our server code will live in a folder of the same name: server. This will create a package.json file which will allow us to keep track of all our app scripts and manage any dependencies our Node app needs. To create our Node project, run the following command in your terminal: npm init -y Then, drag that folder into your code editor. Step 1: Create your Node (Express) backendįirst create a folder for your project, called react-node-app (for example). We will use Heroku to publish our app to the web entirely for free. This is necessary for deploying our application with Heroku.
#NOTEAPP WITH GITHUB BACKEND UPDATE#
This application allows users to create, read, update and delete (CRUD) notes and categorize them by type. We implemented the MVC architectural pattern (Model-Controller-Adapter-View in this case). We used it as an opportunity to learn how to create single-page applications with JavaScript.
#NOTEAPP WITH GITHUB BACKEND MOD#
We built this project for our FlatIron School mod 3 project. A basic note-taking single-page application with calendar functionality
