How to Deploy Strapi and React at one hosting?

Viewed 2178

everyone. I just deployed Strapi and React project. But I hosted individual, so that seems to be very strange. How to I do deploy at one hosting. I can't find any guides about that.

Like this:

Strapi: https://nuclear-leagcy.herokuapp.com/admin https://nuclear-leagcy.herokuapp.com/graphql

React https://nuclear-leagcy.herokuapp.com

I think I have to define server.js with express. But I don't have any ideas about that now.

Additions. I want to use graphql in production, but want to disable playground interface in production so others can't to do it.

How can I do?

Using 3.0.0.beta.19.5 to deploy Strapi + React in the same server you need to do the following things.

rootDir = means the root folder of the Strapi project.

You need to create a new Middleware, rootDir/middlewares/serve-react, and this 2 files in there.

  1. defaults.json
{
  "serve-react": {
    "enabled": true
  }
}
  1. index.js
'use strict';

/**
 * Module dependencies
 */

// Node.js core.
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const koaStatic = require('koa-static');

/**
 * Serve react hook
 */

module.exports = strapi => {

  return {
    /**
     * Initialize the hook
     */

    async initialize() {
      const {maxAge, path: publicPath} = strapi.config.middleware.settings.public;
      const staticDir = path.resolve(strapi.dir, publicPath || strapi.config.paths.static);

      strapi.router.get(
        '/*',
        async (ctx, next) => {
          const parse = path.parse(ctx.url);
          ctx.url = path.join(parse.dir, parse.base);

          await next();
        },
        koaStatic(staticDir, {
          maxage: maxAge,
          defer: false, // do not allow other middleware to serve content before this one
        })
      );

      // if no resource is matched by koa-static, just default to serve index file
      // useful for SPA routes
      strapi.router.get('*', ctx => {
        ctx.type = 'html';
        ctx.body = fs.createReadStream(path.join(staticDir + '/index.html'));
      });
    },
  };
};

Add the middleware just created in the chain. rootDir/config/middleware.json. Notice the "serve-react" at the end of the "after" property, is the only thing added in this case.

{
  "timeout": 100,
  "load": {
    "before": [
      "responseTime",
      "logger",
      "cors",
      "responses",
      "gzip"
    ],
    "order": [
      "Define the middlewares' load order by putting their name in this array is the right order"
    ],
    "after": [
      "parser",
      "router",
      "serve-react"
    ]
  }
}
