Tooling for npm + webpack + react is a little incoherent.  Here is a cheatsheet for myself:


-- local development mode:

$ npm start       # start the API server locally
$ npm run dev     # start the client UI locally

Browse to http://localhost:8080/development.html.  The client constructs the API url at http://localhost:5000.


-- staging (heroku) mode:

$ git push heroku master

Browse to http://cfrp-analytics.herokuapp.com.  The client constructs the API url via window.location.


-- production (heroku+jekyll) mode (API via CORS):

$ git push heroku master              # starts API at http://cfrp-analytics.herokuapp.com/api/cfrp
$ npm run build
$ cp build/*.js ../cfrp-website/app   # moves the distribution bundles into the host app

The host HTML should be modified to something like this:

<body>
<div id="app" data-analytics="http://cfrp-analytics.herokuapp.com/api/cfrp"></div>
<script src="bundle.js?a35ce6b1fd66c5cb565c209e8d347341"></script>
</body>




-- start a local analytics API server:

npm start

-- run a local hot-swap react server for development: [ assumes local API server ]

npm run dev

-- build a CFRP client in ./build [ assumes API server on heroku ]

npm run build
# then to put in website: cp build/*.js ../cfrp-web/app

-- build and run the UI in heroku (not in jekyll website)

git push heroku master    # this runs webpack in postinstall
                          # and babel-node via Procfile


NB.  Remember that node will serve build/bundle.js before anything else, so clean it out
during development!
