NOTE: - You will have 3 package.json files in this project

• Top level - necessary for heroku deployment: you don't need to do anything with this file, it is set up for you
• back-end - everything to do with the express/postgres backend
• front-end - everything to do with the create-react-app front-end

back-end Set Up and Deployment to Heroku

Basic App

/back-end
