I am new in nodejs framework .I read the tutorial, but I want to know how to create a build in node js, in other words I need a script which create my build folder.

I follow these steps

1. create index.js in root directory add some code.

1. then add this line of code

   import express from 'express'; const app = express();

   app.listen(3000,function () {
       console.log(`app is listening on 3000`)
   })
   

in my package.json I added start and build script

"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon ./index.js --exec babel-node -e js",
    "build": "mkdir dist && babel src -s -d dist"
  },

when I do npm run start .my application run fine and I am able to debug also.

Now I want to deploy this application on production Need build.so how to generate build using babel

when I run npm run build I am getting error

src doesn't exist

• javascript
• node.js

• you don't need to build it, you simply need to run 'node <your script>.js' – Juliver Galleto Commented Nov 26, 2019 at 2:47
• 1 you need webpack, parcel or rollup to handle bundling your files for you – Juliver Galleto Commented Nov 26, 2019 at 2:49

You 'build' mand is like 'mkdir ... && babel src ....', then in the photo it does not have a src folder. So you can simply create a src folder and move index.js to src/, or change the mand to 'mkdir dist && babel ./ -s -d dist'. I did not test, but it should work.
