Hi,
I’ve created an App and wish to have two resources in it, the frontend sitting under mydomain/ and the backend sitting under mydomain/api/.
I’ve created the backend resource first (it’s an express.js app, works, also has its own router) and it is now stuck with serving the /, I can’t find how to change it. I can add more HTTP Request Routes but not remove the root one. When I try to have the frontend serve /, I get the error “Route already in use by the [backend] component”.
How do I make it so that the backend serves mydomain/api/ and the frontend all the other routes including root?
