Full-Stack Web Development with Vue.js and Node

Building Authentication with passport.js Chapter 6

route.controller(app)

}

})

app.use(serveStatic(__dirname + "/dist"));

...

With this, let's now build our application with the following command:

$ npm run build

The preceding command will create the necessary static files inside the dist folder in the

application that will be served by the Node.js server, which is in the 8081 port. After the

build, we now do not need to run the following command:

$ npm run dev

Also, now since we will be running our node server only, the application should be

available at the URL http://localhost:8081.

The preceding command starts our frontend server. We only need to run the Node.js server

with the following command:

$ nodemon server.js

Since we now only have one port, 8081, we do not need to add the prefix /api in every

backend API like we did earlier, we can get rid of those as well. So, let's update
the controllers and vue files as well:

Replace the contents in controllers/movies.js, as follows:

var Movie = require("../models/Movie");

module.exports.controller = (app) => {

// fetch all movies

app.get("/movies", function(req, res) {

Movie.find({}, 'name description release_year genre', function

(error, movies) {

if (error) { console.log(error); }

res.send({

movies: movies

})

})

})

// add a new movie

app.post('/movies', (req, res) => {

const movie = new Movie({
