Deploy a React App with ExpressJS and Nginx

[@lucha0075db]

Nice tutorial Enrico. I was wondering, what about if I want to make a request to the nginx server's endpoint from the react front end ?

What if you want routing to work?

Thanks, with this method is it possible the prerender for seo?

[@saturnorbit6810]

Did you find a solution for this??

[@bilal.comedy]

Thanks, if I load react via express, where do I have to implement the API call. In the React app or in Epress Server.js

[@EnricoPortolan]

On the Express server you implement the API itself. You call the API from your React App

[@saturnorbit6810]

Actually is this SEO friendly or no??

[@supernovaw39]

There is no SSR in the example, so no.

May I ask what's the difference between
react + express + nginx
vs
react + nginx?

[@EnricoPortolan]

Sure, the one with expressJS is actually ExpressJS that serves the static files whereas the other one is NGINX serving the static files :)

@@EnricoPortolan thanks!
another question.
which one do you recommend for routing frontend service? Express or nginx?

[@EnricoPortolan]

@@BP-qy2pb I'd go with Nginx serving the static files because it's simpler to split your client side from your API server

@@EnricoPortolan Hi, thanks for sharing. I have the exact same question. If react + nginx works faster and simpler, why should we use another express to serve? Is there any advantage about this architecture? Thanks
