npm run scripts

Update the package.json file to add the following npm run scripts for development and production.

mern-simplesetup/package.json:

"scripts": {
    "development": "nodemon",
    "build": "webpack --config webpack.config.client.production.js 

                 && webpack --mode=production --config 
     webpack.config.server.js",
    "start": "NODE_ENV=production node ./dist/server.generated.js"
}

• npm run development: This command will get Nodemon, Webpack, and the server started for development
• npm run build: This will generate the client and server code bundles for production mode (before running this script, make sure to remove the devBundle.compile code from server.js)
• npm run start: This command will run the bundled code in production
