NodeJS Generator

Setup NodeJS-Express project with your favorite frontend frameworks (ReactJS, VueJS) and run on same host, same port by running one command.

Getting Started

When building project, usually you may want to run your backend and frontend in one host and port, not to proxy it. If that's what you're looking for, so this tool is for you.

This project helps you setup your NodeJS app with frontend frameworks (React, VueJS) in same folder, run on same host, same port. It comes with other setups like Webpack, Babel, CSS module, SCSS, Eslint, ...

Running project

After setup new project. Follow these steps to run your project:

cd <your_project_name>
npm install
npm start       # to start your project
npm run dev     # to build your frontend

Then open your browser at port of your project (default is 3000)

Running in production

When running in production, I recommend:

• Building your frontend in production mode by running: npm run prod or npm run production
• Using a process manager to manage your nodejs app. Like PM2 (I love this), Forever, ...
• You should running your app behind a reverse proxy like Nginx. Configuration your Nginx for Nodejs like this link
