A fun talking cow generator with Create-React-App and Express.

This repo is an example of how to connect an Express backend with React, and subsequently deploying to Heroku.

See the tutorial: How to deploy a create-react-app with an Express backend to Heroku

See the deployed site: Custom Cowsay

This is ready for deployment, assuming you have an account with Heroku and have installed the Heroku CLI tools. Note: This repo uses NPM. For yarn, you will have to change the command in package.json to "heroku-postbuild": "cd client && yarn && yarn build"

1. Clone this repo.
2. In the root directory of the repo, run heroku create.
3. Run git push heroku master which will build the frontend and deploy it and the backend to Heroku.
