I'm developing an app locally using Go and React with a project structure that looks somewhat like this:
/reactApp
/main.go
/api
/reactUI
While I am developing locally I am using the gcloud cli tool to run the Go code, and I'm using Node to run the UI. I need to handle CORS of course, but otherwise this works fairly well. The problem is there are too many files in the /reactUI directory for the gcloud cli tool to monitor them all. This means I need to manually start and stop the server every time I make a change to the Go source code.
The reactUI directory was created using the 'npx create-react-app' command. Since I'm running the react part of this app locally using node (and that handles file monitoring and auto-updating just fine), how can I get the gcloud tool to ignore the reactUI directory? Basically I just want the gcloud tool to monitor the API part of the app, and not the UI part. If I make a change to the API part of the app the gcloud local server should automatically recompile and restart.
I haven't found anything yet in the docs, please let me know if I missed something. Thanks!
