From d28386716d8d86b15a961d060f709c35ffaae0ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luke Williams Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 18:43:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add instructions for custom server This took me 2-3 hours to fully figure out. I was trying to figure out how to serve the React files from a custom Hapi server, and there didn't seem to be any easy way to merge the two TS files. These instructions make it an extremely simple process. Since I would have loved to have this information earlier, and I expect many users will want to use their own server for serving the files, I think this will be a useful change!

This will create a self-contained React project that you can serve statically. + ## Migration In general, most upgrades won't require any migration steps to work, but if you experience problems after an upgrade, please file an issue, and we'll add it to the list of migration steps below.
