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

[@EsHbAnBaHaDuR]

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

[@sanketmane5838]

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

[@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?

[@SanRanj-l3t]

Did u find any solution?

[@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.

Appreciate for the input!

[@juanpasten6077]

It doesnt' work for me but thanks!

[@thedevcorners]

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

[@juanpasten6077]

@@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 ♥

Pls make your fonts bigger for God sake.

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!

[@muratyonev6000]

[@thedevcorners]

Thank you :) at least it works for me.
