c29-heroku-test

Simple react/json-server app that can be (easily?) deployed to heroku.

Things to note:

1. package.json
   • start script runs production build and starts json-server. Static dist files will be served by json-server.
   • start:dev script concurrently runs "normal" create-react-app dev build and json-server on separate ports.
   • json-server dependency
2. server.js
   • Adds custom route for database resources by appending /api to the start of all db routes
   • Looks at request url and assumes if it doesn't begin with /api to just return the react app
3. data.js
   • Database interaction module
   • Uses the following code to determine if the app is in production mode and sets the db url accordingly. In DEV mode the json-serve will be running on a separate port than the react dev server. In PROD mode, the json-server will also be serving the static files

   const baseUrl = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
       ? "/api/"
       : "http://localhost:5002/api/";
