With this configuration, I don’t really have a front/back-end separation.</p> <p>I recently started learning React and with it the separation of the backend with my API, database, ... and the front-end with my react app.</p> <p>So, I was wondering, do I need to separate my backend repo and my frontend repo ? It seems kinda strange to do so because, most of the time, a new feature on my frontend means new changes on the backend.</p> <p>What should I do to <em>practically</em> put both on the same repo ? Having tow sub folders ? And what about Heroku ? I can’t configure it to build a subfolder app.</p> <p>How are you managing that in your projects ?</p> discuss webdev github
