Learn how to create a React App with a Node backend. Learn how to set up an entire project using React and Node from scratch. This tutorial is designed to help you create full-stack projects with React as easily as possible. A React frontend connected to a Node backend is a rock-solid combination for any application you want to build.

Let’s see how to set up an entire project using React and Node from scratch and deploy it to the web.

• Step 1: Create your Node (Express) backend
• Step 2: Create an API Endpoint
• Step 3: Create your React frontend
• Step 4: Make HTTP Requests from React to Node
• Step 5: Deploy your app to the web with Heroku

Tools You Will Need

1. Make sure Node and NPM are installed on your computer. You can download both at nodejs.org (NPM is included in your Node installation)
2. Use a code editor of your choice. I am using and would personally recommend using VSCode. You can download VSCode at code.visualstudio.com.
3. Make sure you have Git installed on your computer. This is necessary for deploying our application with Heroku. You can get it at git-scm.com
4. An account at heroku.com. We will use Heroku to publish our app to the web entirely for free.
