A simple know-how project on how to integrate React.js with Express.js

This project helps in easy understanding of linking Express.js as a backend server to run your React application.

Steps to run this project

Clone or download this repo to your local.

Under the path of react-with-express, run the following:

npm install

npm run client-install

npm run dev

The final application runs on port 3000 and the backend server runs on port 5000.

Once you are successfully able to run the application you will see something like this:

Encountered an issue ?

When developing a similar project, if you are facing any issue of data not fetched from backend, and the requests are going to the port 3000 only, you can

• clear your cache
• delete the package-lock.json (from client)
• delete node_modules (from client)
• npm install (at client)
• restart the server
