Deploy Express Application using Netlify for Free - Serverless Functions | 2024 UPDATE

[@kadirbozkurt2412]

I build my react/node project. If I choose my dist directory as publish directory while deploying, it doesnt call the functions on front end. If I don't choose directory for publish, I see 404 error of netlify. Any solution for that?

netlify-lamda has already been deprecated. How to do it without netlity-lamda ?

Appreciate for the input!

[@EsHbAnBaHaDuR]

very nice. My routes are in /Routes/courseRoutes.js file so how can i access them?

[@RajeshTechForge]

Good Tutoriall but too annoying to see the code. 1. Just zoom In the editor, 2. Add a soft bg music.

[@thedevcorners]

Appreciate it man!

[@ShikimoriKuruma]

wow thanks bro

[@harshasuraweera]

Great tutorial... By the way I have a question, is that route prefix "/.netlify/functions/" a must? PS: Found that it can be solved by adding a redirect rule to netlify.toml like this [[redirects]] force = true from = "/api/*" status = 200 to = "/.netlify/functions/api/:splat"

[@thedevcorners]

Yes, it's a must! Thanks for the addition!

[@harshasuraweera]

@@thedevcorners np.. seems above rule can only be used with express apps.

@@thedevcorners Is there a way to deploy from github?

[@juanpasten6077]

It doesnt' work for me but thanks!

[@thedevcorners]

Can you give the details why it didn't work?

@@thedevcorners My men! It ended working!! Two things: my gratitude to you for you willing to help. With that I was going to make a good explanation to get help by you and, in the process, I fix it. Now I was trying to make a good explanation on why it was break and I get with this: ▬ If you use a template string plus some variables, it would not work. I had something like this « const ROUTES = { MOVIES: `movies`, HOME: `/` } app.get(`/.netlify/functions/app/${ROUTES.MOVIES}/:id`, fn) » That's going to throw an error. This is how I fix that: « const PREFIX_ROUTES = "/.netlify/functions/app" const ROUTES = { MOVIES: `${PREFIX_ROUTES}/movies`, HOME: `${PREFIX_ROUTES}/` } app.get(ROUTES.HOME, fn) app.get(`${ROUTES.MOVIES}`, fn) app.get(`${ROUTES.MOVIES}/:id`, fn) » Thanks for all =)!

@@thedevcorners I though I made a reply but it was not the case. The problem was the use of template strings, I had something like this: `/.netlify/functions/app/${ROUTES.MOVIES}/:id`. That doesn't work for I don't know which reason. But if I extract the prefix into other variable it ended working. Like this: «const ROUTES_PREFIX = "/.netlify/functions/app"; const ROUTES = {MOVIES: `${ROUTES_PREFIX}/movies`}; app.get(`${ROUTES.MOVIES}/:id`, fn)». So, thanks so much for your willing to help ♥

[@Bollyspeedup]

[@thedevcorners]
