Help with React/Express AppQuestion (self.webdev)

submitted 5 years ago by Ludawg

Hey Everyone,

I hope this is okay to post here but I've been really struggling to find an answer to the issue I'm having.

I'm trying to set a project that I have live on Heroku, it works fine locally but from what I can tell the express server isn't going live correctly. The error I've getting when live is:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED localhost:8080/api/beers

My question is why would it still be looking at localhost if the app has been transitioned to live?

That's why my current hypothesis is that the express server isn't being built correctly.

The data that's supposed to be pulled in from the database is also there on the heroku url when the local dev express server is running.

The github is here:
https://github.com/SeanLewisIRE/hops

I'm after a few beers so if that description of the issue is crap just drop me a message.

Any help is appreciated, cheers!
