Test app for connecting an express server with a react app. Uses typescript and API calls
You can run the server and access the react app by:
cd client
npm run build
npm ../server
npm start
Navigate to http://localhost:3001 and click the link to react or navigate to http://localhost:3001/react-app
git clone git@github.com:ar-to/express-react-app.git
cd server
npm install
npm run nodemon
for client open a new terminal window
cd client
npm install
npm start
for testing open another terminal window
cd client
npm run test
Server uses Express generator CLI via
express --pug --css=sass server
Client uses create-react-app with typescript via
create-react-app client --typescript
The client expects the express server to be connected so it can call its api. Else you will see a message in the react terminal and on the landing page asking you to check it.
The UI used is Semantic-UI for React
