This script will start both the WebpackDevServer and the production API server at the same time.

Run the script from the project root folder with:

./start.sh

They can be stopped at the same time by pressing CTRL + C.

The structure of the files should be:

project-folder/
├── client/
├── server/
└── start.sh

The client folder should contain the react-simple-boilerplate and the server folder should contain the production Node.js app that serves the API routes that the client application consumes. In the server app, there should be a script in the package.json called "local". It would be handy if this was defined as "nodemon server" and nodemon was listed in devDependencies.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd client/ ; npm start & cd ../server/ ; npm run local
