Before trying anything

npm install -g nodemon webpack concurrently bower typings typescript

Why?:

• Bower is used to handle front-end dependencies.
• Nodemon is used to track server-side changes.
• Webpack is used to build application using REACT and track front-end changes.
• Concurrently is to run Nodemon and Webpack together so that you can track changes on both, front-end and back-end

To run:

First install dependencies:

npm install

Afterwards, feel free to run:

npm start

BASIC FLOW

• Express renders index.html with NO DATA FROM THE SERVER.
• The app can use AJAX to request something from the server API.
• Within itself, the app uses routes in order to handle different components and such.
