This project is made to learn React, Node and Express.
The server is built by Node and its framework Express. The frontend is built by React and stored in client directory. Dependencies and other infos are declared in the json files. In addition to default modules, the app also use JQuery, Bootstrap and React-bootstrap. To download these modules, navigate to client directory and run npm commands.
cd client
npm install jquery --save
npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap --save
The modules will be automatically written into the package.json file.
In the project root directory, you can run:
The server is built in file server.js. Run the above command to open the server and receive request from client. Without this command the app won't work. Now the server will listen at port 5000. Open http://localhost:5000 to see the result.
After that, navigate to client directory:
cd client
and you can run these commands:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.\
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
