STOREACT

Overview

Simple webshop to further increase my experience with the MERN stack.
In development, react-scripts is used to serve the client(Port = 3000) and the server uses a Node Express API server(Port = 3001).

Techniques

React
React router v4
Express
MongoDB
Semantic UI

Running locally

Install and run MongoDB locally.
To get the website to show some dummy content you can load the /db/init.mongo.js script in the Mongo Shell.

Now, setup the server and client:

git clone https://github.com/kristofferek/storeact.git
cd storeact
npm i

cd client
npm i

cd ..
npm start

Build

Running npm run build creates the static bundle which we can then use any HTTP server to serve:

cd client/
npm run build

Setting NODE_ENV to production and running npm run server will make Node/Express serve the client/build directory as a static asset.

cd ..
npm run server
