what issues are you running into?

N/A

hiii

so ,the thing is that this is happening

please share your repo

sure

https://github.com/RichardPinewood/InToLongevity

i rooted in railway to /backend but still not working

everything is in the same project

the backend and the frontend

you dont have a package.json and package-lock.json in that backend folder

what do you mean ?

do i need to add that ?

yes those are node specific, without those nixpacks wont know what to do with this backend project

they are in my project but not on github

do i need to add them to github ?

you need them in the backend folder too and they need to be in github

so how could i fix this ?

create the files in the backend folder

is there a command ?

i mean they were installed automatically

oh wait i did npm init y

but wont it affect the project ?

you need them in the backend folder

because i will have two files…. wotj the same name

^

will it be fine ?

considering its current broken, you cant make it worse, you need them, there is no two ways about that

hmmmm

what is going on now ? Error: Cannot find module 'express'

Node.js v18.20.2

it is appearing in railway logs

you need to have all your needed dependences in your package.json

what dependencies ?

well an example would be express for one

if i install express will railway know ? or even github form my machine ?

it will install it because its listed in your package.json

did it finished ???

finnally i installed all depencies

@Brody

yes it says active, now you need to generate a domain

for what ?

in railway ?

you mean in the frontend ?

will the domain serve for netlify ?

this will be the domain for your backend

i see a domain in Private Networking

you need to generate a public domain

i see

can i choose a domain i like ?

yes

doneee

were should i implement that domain in netlify ?

your frontend code needs to call the domain, it would not have anything to do with netlify specifically

but i wont need later to do node server.js ?

if imagine i use netlify

railway is running the server, not netlify

i knoww

but late one i wont need to do the command right ?

when i finish to integrate

the frontend and the backend online

uh sure, i dont really understand the question / your english, sorry

imagine if i deploy the backend in railway,i wont need to use the terminal later ?

i guess

@Brody do you know about vercel ?

i am trying to host my frontend in here but it is appearing me this error 404

we can't provide support for platforms that arent railway

boomer

i don't see how that is productive to the conversation, going to close this thread out.
