Set up & Deploy with Vercel

Star and clone this repo, update package.json with your information (project name, your name, etc.), verify vercel.json.

$ npm install
$ cd ./backend && npm install && npm run build
$ cd ..
$ npm install vercel -g
$ vercel
  • Vercel will generate a ".vercel" directory, don't share or commit this one!
  • After deploying, open your URL like this: YOUR-VERCEL-APP-ID.vercel.app
  • Build your backend and ui, the outputs are located at "backend/build" and "ui/buid".
    • Some boilerplate generators output the built files to "dist" instead of "build", so update your vercel.json accordingly.
