title: How to generate nodejs express application with reactjs
body: <p>I am using <code>reactjs</code> in my application as front end technology. I need to use <code>nodejs</code> as server side programming. </p>
  
  <p>I setup the <code>reactjs</code> application, it has generated project structure and package.json then I installed the <code>express</code>, npm itself has added it into package.json</p>
  
  <p>I created a <code>server</code> directory inside my application for server side code. Here is my directory and package.json</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "name": "rock-paper-scissors-app",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "private": true,
    "dependencies": {
      "express": "^4.15.3",
      "react": "^15.6.1",
      "react-dom": "^15.6.1"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
      "react-scripts": "1.0.7"
    },
    "scripts": {
      "start": "react-scripts start",
      "build": "react-scripts build",
      "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
      "eject": "react-scripts eject"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Project Structure:</p>

  <p>So far everything is good. Now I want to generate <code>node-js</code> express application <a href="https://github.com/expressjs/express" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/expressjs/express</a> which should not override my existing like <code>package.json</code></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>$ express ??</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Can anyone help what is the method of it ? or Am I doing something wrong ?</p>
