Can we combine a NestJS app with React?

In this quick video we learn how to create a monorepo using turborepo, which combines a NestJS API with a React frontend. We will also learn how to set up our Nest application to serve up our React SPA build so that we only need to run a single server for production!

thanks a tonn saviour @mariusespejo . Its been a very smooth, simple and crisp explanation. Amazed by this tutorial. apreciate your effort towards the community. however there a little error from your steps when been used with latest version of turo i.e '^1.12.5', I had to add persistent as true like below
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
},

in order to the application run if not the fe is starting and crashing down. I had a hard time in figuring out and thought i could help someone via this comment.

Incredible tutorial just what I needed! Very clear with each step of the walkthrough, will definitely coming back for more content! I never write comments but had to show some support haha. Thanks so much!

Very neat! I was looking for such solution to bundle my client with my nest js backend. Thank you for sharing!

[peacekper]

Thank you so much for this! I'm working on a personal project and have always used python for my backend and wanted to try something new with NestJS. This was super helpful!

Incredible tutorial, thank you Marius! <3 It was just I was looking for!

Amazing content once more! You just saved my personal project.

Really nice and useful video. Starting with nest following your videos about it and I really like it, the architecture and the documentation are amazing compared to express. 🙏🙏

Very cool! I just started using Turborepo on a project and really enjoy it.

It would be cool to get the dev/prod environments to be the same so you’re always working from a single server. I know that’s not easy but it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile.

I almost got it to work with NestJS/Remix before but it wasn’t perfect.

Nice tutorial, was stuck on monorepos for weeks.

Thank you for explaining everything step by step from scratch. I really appreciate your hard work in helping the community. Once again, thank you very much.

So great work. I liked watching your coding process. Keep up the great coding!

[TroyJoachim]

Very good tutorial. A great use case for this is for Vite PWAs.

[MerthanMerter]

tutorials like this should always cover client side

Great tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for and more. One thing I miss though: How to share common code with instant IDE update (i.e. when I change somewthing in common code, it should be reflected in react and api code instantly.

[DenisMikhalev]

That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks!

I enjoyed this walkthrough and am thinking of all the things I could do with this. Great Video! I have some reservations though: I work in a team and do not want to constantly monitor how my teammates play nicely with the mono repo. I might use this for applications I build on my own.

Thanks for the video Marius. Is a very good approach to monorepo and I like the development flow that you propose. We deploy the server and the client in different machines, but is good to have the two parts in the same repo in my opinion. I will try it...

more about monorepo please, thank you
