Discussion on: Deploying a React app with React-Router and an Express Backend

Hello Nicolas,

First of all, thanks a lot for your work. Anyway, I have an issue with your project. If you run the server and then:

cd client
npm install
npm run build
http-server build

The App will be deployed in localhost:8080 and works. But, if I access to the list and reload the page:

[Thu Nov 08 2018 11:35:00 GMT+0100 (GMT+01:00)] "GET /list" Error (404): "Not found"

That's because the HTTP static server doesn't found the list file.

I'm pretty sure that if you access directly to: yourHerokuServer/list you will find the same problem.

There is a little workaround: copy the index.html to list and mark its content type as text/html, but I strongly believe that we need another solution to this issue :/

Thanks for your time.
