Deploying website to vercel only returns index.js code

Hello I realize that there have been a few threads about my issue already but when i deploy my webapp to vercel i only see the index.js file in my dist folder. I followed the express guide as best I could and changed my vercel.json file to point the destination towards the server folder which is where i keep index.ts.

I also adjusted my dev command to be vite --port 5000 to match the port i have chosen in my server/index.ts file. when i run vercel dev and npm dev locally, i am able to navigate to the local host and interact with my website. Is there something i should change with vercel.json to fix the deployment? Thanks again for your help!

Hi , welcome to the Vercel Community!

The GitHub repo seems to be private, so we can't access it.

In the meantime, I'd recommend reading through the following post:

Hi Anshuman,

Thanks for your reply, I've changed the repo visibility so you should be able to view it now. I will also take a look at this link, thanks again!

Hello, i've managed to deploy the website after moving my index.ts file to a folder called api located in the root of my directory. However, I am getting an error that the packaged version of index.ts, index.js, is unable to import the other .ts files that I need.

Those are stored in a folder called server in the root of the directory, and I've tried to include it in my vercel.json: { "version": 2, "functions": { "api/index.ts": { "includeFiles": "server/**/" } }, "rewrites": [ { "source": "/api/(.)", "destination": "/api/index.js" }, { "source": "/(.*)", "destination": "/public/index.html" } ] }

my build command in package.json is: "build": "vite build && esbuild api/index.ts --platform=node --external:lightningcss --bundle --format=esm --outfile=dist/api/index.js",

can you help me resolve this error?
