Also uses [custom-react-scripts](https://github.com/kitze/custom-react-scripts) to add optional support for ES6 decorators, SASS/SCSS, LESS, Stylus, \u0026 CSS modules without needing to eject out of Create React App.\n\nDemo: [https://express-cra-starter.herokuapp.com/](https://express-cra-starter.herokuapp.com/)\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThese instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development purposes. See Deployment for notes on how to deploy the project to Heroku.\n\n## Installing\n\nClone down the repo and go to its directory.\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/rosswaycaster/express-create-react-app-starter.git my-project \u0026\u0026 cd my-project\n```\n\n[Create an empty GitHub repo](https://github.com/new) to store your project \u0026 run this command to set the *origin* to ***your repo***. Be sure to edit the url with your username and repo slug.\n```\ngit remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git\ngit push origin master\n```\n\nInstall all dependencies with one command.\n```\nnpm run setup\n```\n\n## Running for development\n\nThis will start the client at http://localhost:3000 which will proxy the api server that is running at http://localhost:3001. The proxy will allow you to make ajax requests to a relative url (such as '/api/hello') from the client and it will route that request to the api server. This proxy only runs during development.\n```\nnpm start\n```\n\n## Deploy to Heroku\n\nOnce you deploy to Heroku it will build and serve your React app without the need for a proxy.\n\nMake sure you have the [Heroku Cli](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli#download-and-install) and login.\n```\nheroku login\n```\n\nCreate an application and commit files.\n```\nheroku create\ngit add .\ngit commit -m 'initial commit'\n```\n\nDeploy to Heroku. The first deploy could take a minute or two.\n```\ngit push heroku master\n```\n\n## Deploy somewhere else\n\nFollow the steps below to build and serve your React app without the need for a proxy. All commands should be executed in the root directory.\n\nBuild the React application.\n```\nnpm run build\n```\n***Transfer the files to your server.***\n\nOnce on the server start node and optionally specify the port.\n```\nPORT=3000 node server\n```\n\n\n\n## Authors\n\n* **Ross Waycaster** - *Initial work* - [rosswaycaster](https://github.com/rosswaycaster)\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the [GNU General Public License v3.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html).\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\n- [Express](http://expressjs.com/)\n- [Create React App](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app)\n- [custom-react-scripts](https://github.com/kitze/custom-react-scripts)\n- [Heroku](https://heroku.com)\n- [Hack Reactor](https://hackreactor.com)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frosswaycaster%2Fexpress-create-react-app-starter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frosswaycaster%2Fexpress-create-react-app-starter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frosswaycaster%2Fexpress-create-react-app-starter/lists"}
