I hope you are able to follow this easily. I am purposely putting more time into the read me pages

This setup allows for a Node/Express/React app which can be easily deployed to Heroku.

The front-end React app will auto-reload as it's updated via webpack dev server, and the backend Express app will auto-reload independently with nodemon.

Starting the app locally

Start by installing front and backend dependencies. While in this directory, run the following commands:

yarn install
cd client
yarn install
cd ..
``

After both installations complete, run the following command in your terminal:

yarn start


 This app should be running on <http://localhost:3000>. The Express server should intercept any AJAX requests from the client.

## Deployment (Heroku)



1. Build the React app for production by running the following command:

yarn build


2. Add and commit all changes to git

3. Push to Heroku

Your application should be deployed to Heroku
