#DEPLOY MEAN STACK HEROKU INSTALL#
Install the backend packages npm i express cors mongoose body-parser -save The backend manages the APIs, handles requests, and also connects to the database. It'll be used to send requests from the frontend (React) to the APIs provided by the backend. Install axios npm i axios -saveĪxios is a JavaScript library used to make HTTP requests easier. You can then make necessary edits like changing images or text. The command above starts the React application, which gives you a URL where you preview the project. Start the app and make necessary edits npm start After it's finished installing, the second command changes to the project directory. The above creates a directory 'my-project', and installs dependencies which will be used in the React starter app. Create the project directory create-react-app my-project The -g flag installs the package globally. If you do not have create-react-app installed, type the following in the command line: npm i create-react-app -g Install create-react-appĬreate-react-app is used to create a starter React app. node also provides us with npm, which is used for installing packages. Note: Before we begin with our project, node must be installed on your computer. Let's Start Building Building the React App You can skip to any step with the table of contents listed below. This is more secure than the MongoDB installed locally on our server and it also gives us room for more resources on our servers.įor the frontend we'll build a simple React app which makes POST requests to an API to add a user, and can also make GET requests to get all users. Heroku, on the other hand, is a platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, run, and operate applications entirely in the cloud.įor the database, we'll be using MongoDB Atlas, which is a global cloud database service for modern applications. It involves frontend work (with React), backend work (with Express and NodeJS) and a database (with MongoDB). MERN, which stands for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js, is a popular tech stack used in building web applications. In this article, we'll be building and deploying an application built with the MERN stack to Heroku.
