Do I need to somehow compile the server file?

Question

JavaScript

I have a front, written in react, compiled into a build. Do I need to somehow translate/compile the server so that it is in one file and put it in this build? Or how to properly arrange all this for uploading to a virtual server?

Answer 1

no need, server files separately, front files separately.
You can put it just next to it so that the back gives the front as static, but it will still be separate files.
you don’t need to collect the bundle on the back, the main thing is that the node understands what you give it.
how to "design for filling" - a lot of options.
the simplest - compile the front, put it somewhere in the server files so that it gives them to the browser (depending on your backend server) and upload it to the server in any way possible.
