Production Deployment

This course teaches all the major concepts you need to build a production ready SaaS application by step by step _building a fully functional application_. The course is divided into two main parts - the _frontend_, which uses Svelte to build an interactive, rich user interface and the _backend_, which uses Express and PostgreSQL to build a server that handles data management.

Svelte is an exciting new frontend UI framework that offers a very developer friendly workflow and easy to learn syntax. Express and PostgreSQL are tried-and-true technologies that provide a rock solid backend.

Across about 7 hours of video instruction with full source code, this course covers everything from setting up your development environment to securing your application with a multi-tenant architecture and ultimately deploying the application to production.

Up until now, we have been running our Svelte app using the local Svelte dev server on port 5000. As web browsers cannot run 

 files directly, the Svelte framework converts Svelte files into a single JavaScript file called 

. It also creates a single CSS file called 

In the local dev environment, Svelte automatically runs a new build after file changes and hot-loads that new build into the browser. This great for development, but not production.

In order to build a Svelte app for production, we run the command 

$ npm run build
> svelte-app@1.0.0 build /school-lunch/frontend
> npx eslint ./src && vite

src/main.js → public/build/bundle.js...
created public/build/bundle.js in 5.6s

The output from the command says "created public/build/bundle.js". Run this command and take a look at

├── build
│   ├── bundle.css
│   ├── bundle.css.map
│   ├── bundle.js
│   └── bundle.js.map
└── index.html

 file and CSS and JavaScript files. This is your whole Svelte application, ready to be deployed to a web server. These files are known as static assets and can be served from any web server.

One web server option for our application is to use our backend Express server to host both the API portion of the app

### Building a Svelte App

Up until now, we have been running our Svelte app using the local Svelte dev server on port 5000. As web browsers cannot run `.svelte` files directly, the Svelte framework converts Svelte files into a single JavaScript file called `bundle.js`. It also creates a single CSS file called `bundle.css`.

In the local dev environment, Svelte automatically runs a new build after file changes and hot-loads that new build into the browser. This great for development, but not production.

In order to build a Svelte app for production, we run the command `npm run build`:

```shell
$ npm run build
> svelte-app@1.0.0 build /school-lunch/frontend
> npx eslint ./src && vite

src/main.js → public/build/bundle.js...
created public/build/bundle.js in 5.6s
```

The output from the command says "created public/build/bundle.js". Run this command and take a look at `/public`, you'll see the following files:

```shell
$ tree
.
├── build
│   ├── bundle.css
│   ├── bundle.css.map
│   ├── bundle.js
│   └── bundle.js.map
└── index.html
```

There's an `index.html` file and CSS and JavaScript files. This is your whole Svelte application, ready to be deployed to a web server. These files are known as static assets and can be served from any web server.

### Serving Static Assets from Express

One web server option for our application is to use our backend Express server to host both the API portion of the app _and_ serve the static Svelte portion of the app. The setup for this option is pretty easy. We just need to copy the files from `/frontend/public` into `/backend/public`.

Do the following:

1.  Delete the existing boilerplate files in the Express `/backend/public` directory
2.  Run `npm run build` from the Svelte frontend directory
3.  Copy the files from the Svelte `/frontend/public` directory to `/backend/public`
4.  Run the backend with `npm run nodemon`

When you start up the backend with nodemon, you'll probably see a bunch of eslint errors. Add `"ignorePatterns": [ "public/*" ],` to the `.eslintrc.json` file to ignore the `public` directory:

```json { actualFilename=../../../code/module_10/lesson_01/school-lunch/backend/.eslintrc.json endChar=247 endLine=15 startChar=0 startLine=1 statedFilename=eslint ignore patterns url=https&#x3A;//gitlab.com/fullstackio/books/fullstack-svelte-course/module_10/lesson_01/.../../code/module_10/lesson_01/school-lunch/backend/.eslintrc.json }
{
    "env": {
        "commonjs": true,
        "es2020": true,
        "node": true
    },
    "extends": "eslint:recommended",
    "parserOptions": {
        "ecmaVersion": 11
    },
    "ignorePatterns": [ "public/*" ],
    "rules": {
    }
}
```
