Add script to run server and app at same time about express-react-starter HOT 8 CLOSED

hi @VerteDinde i am trying same your way but node and react together not working. only express starts but react not here is my code
"scripts": {
"start": "react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
"eject": "react-scripts eject",
"dev":"node src/Backend/Server.js & npm start"
},

command : npm run dev
output : Express server listning on port no 5000
and react is not starting

from express-react-starter.

Thanks to @auchenberg and others, we now have a launch configuration for VS Code that will launch both processes through the editor.

Had the same problem. Solved using parallelshell package:
"scripts": { "start": "parallelshell \"node server/server\" \"react-app-rewired start\"", ... },
But, notice that I`m using react-app-rewired

from express-react-starter.

@khushahal-sharma I solved this using concurrently, it works well.
"start": "concurrently \"yarn mock:api\" \"yarn start-react\""

from express-react-starter.

I like that! It works well. One of the reasons I've been holding off on providing a better run experience is that whatever that I experience is, I want it to "just work" with VS Code. I want to be able to ship an experience that you can fire up from the terminal, or you can just hit the little green arrow in VS Code.

I've been following this issue which attempts to address the running of an npm command as a build configuration in VS Code. However, VS Code seems to choke on running two different processes like you suggested above.

Any thoughts there?

I ended up doing something similar in my demo app thats using create-react-app + express: https://github.com/auchenberg/timey/blob/master/package.json#L13

from express-react-starter.

You can just use foreman for that. Really easy dev too for these kind's of situations.

can you please explain requirement of 2 package.json files one in root structure and another in /server folder any one please @VerteDinde @burkeholland @auchenberg @IvRRimum
