Discussion on: Creating a Node app with React, Webpack 4, Babel 7, Express and Sass

[danielle-dlfs]

Big thanks to you and this tutorial :) really helped me!

Just saying, I had an small issue doing 3.3 React + Express.
I don't know if it's because of my node/express/react.. version but in the server/index.js file, I had to add const path = require('path'); so that the path is defined.

And everything is working now :D

Here are my (dev)Dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.17.1",
    "react": "^16.8.6",
    "react-dom": "^16.8.6"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.4.5",
    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.4.5",
    "@babel/preset-react": "^7.0.0",
    "babel-loader": "^8.0.6",
    "css-loader": "^3.0.0",
    "html-webpack-plugin": "^3.2.0",
    "node-sass": "^4.12.0",
    "sass-loader": "^7.1.0",
    "style-loader": "^0.23.1",
    "webpack": "^4.35.0",
    "webpack-cli": "^3.3.4"
  }

and the node version : v12.4.0

I am very glad that this article helped you. :)
You are so right. I dont know how I missed that. I do have the path defined in my project code. Not sure how I did not copy it over.
I will edit the article to include it.
Thanks again :)
