Mounting the Home Application into Express

Head back to the file where we mount all of the routes in Express:

first-pass/src/app/express/mount-routes.js

function mountRoutes (app, config) {
  app.use('/', config.homeApp.router)
}

All we do is get the homeApp out of config and then mount its router at the very root. That seems like a good place for a home page.

And that’s it! You’ve set up the home application, and if you start the server—npm run start-dev-server—you can navigate to http://localhost:3000 and just imagine what it would be like watching all these videos that our content creators are going to upload. All the learning!
