React application with Express server
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App. Then an Express server was added in the server
directory. The server is proxied via the proxy
key in package.json
.
Using this project
Clone the project, change into the directory and install the dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/philnash/react-express-starter.git
cd react-express-starter
npm install
Create a .env
file for environment variables in your server.
You can start the server on its own with the command:
npm run server
Run the React application on its own with the command:
npm start
Run both applications together with the command:
npm run dev
The React application will run on port 3000 and the server port 3001.
React Twilio starter
The twilio branch is a similar setup but also provides endpoints with basic Access Tokens for Twilio Programmable Chat and Twilio Programmable Video. You can use the project as a base for building React chat or video applications.
