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

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.
