Express-React-Node Boilerplate

Unfortunately it takes a lot of work to get a React app with a Node backend up and running,

This is a barebones boilerplate for starting an Express, React, and Node app. It also includes React Router Dom. It does not include any paricular database or ORM/ODM.

Setup

To get this boilerplate up and running run yarn install in the root directorary to install all dependencies.

Run

To start the app run yarn start from the root directory, you should now see "Hello World" at http://localhost/3000.

Notes

It's worth noteing that in this Hello World example the "Hello World" being display is actually coming from an API call to the backend; I realize this is completely uncessary but it helps create a more complete template for starting your porject.
