How to deploy?

[ThekhoN]

I tried to deploy a simple counter app (based-off the redux example) with some actual API call to get and update the count.
https://github.com/ThekhoN/razzle-react-redux-starter
Correct me if i'm wrong, the only requirement for deployment is the /build folder after running
npm run build?
When i try to do node server.js, it keeps throwing module errors : "Cannot find module 'react'" etc.
Can some one explain how to resolve this so that i can safely deploy the example?
Thanks.

Hey so you def do not want to check in the build directory to git. So you should add that back to gitignore. Where are you trying to deploy?

Thanks for getting back. i will remove it.
I actually intend to deploy it on a droplet on Digital Ocean.
Meanwhile I had tried to deploy it on heroku, using the git, but it failed.

@ThekhoN I went ahead and made the PR's to your example repo so you can deploy to Heroku.

So the issue had to do with how Heroku forces you to use their process.env.PORT, which is only set after the heroku's build completes.
These are changes you should make for Heroku: ThekhoN/razzle-react-redux-starter#3

Can confirm that this works... https://razzle-redux-starter.herokuapp.com/
