Full-Stack React Projects - Second Edition

Configuring Babel and Webpack

It is necessary to compile and bundle the React code that we will write to implement the frontend before the code can run in browsers. To compile and bundle the client code so that we can run it during development and also bundle it for production, we will update the configuration for Babel and Webpack. Then, we will configure the Express app to initiate frontend and backend code bundling in one command, so that just starting the server during development gets the complete stack ready for running and testing.
