Full-Stack React Projects - Second Edition

Server with Express and Node

In the project folder, create a folder called server, and add a file called server.js that will set up the server. Then, add another file called devBundle.js, which will help compile the React code using Webpack configurations while in development mode. In the following sections, we will implement the Node-Express app, which initiates client-side code bundling, starts the server, sets up the path to serve static assets to the client, and renders the React view in a template when a GET request is made to the root route.
