RNext Server

Overview

RNext Server is an Express-based server that serves two different applications:

• Next.js Application (Primary App)
• Standalone React App (CMS/Admin Panel under /rnext-admin route)

The server handles both applications seamlessly, ensuring proper routing and static file serving for the standalone React app.

Features

• Primary App: Serves the Next.js app for all routes except /rnext-admin.
• CMS/Admin Panel: Serves the standalone React app (built with Vite) under /rnext-admin and its assets (CSS, JS, images, etc.).
• Static File Handling: Efficiently serves static files like index.html, vite.svg, and assets for the React app.
