Deploying website to vercel only returns index.js code

Help

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!

If you’re having trouble deploying an Express app, this guide can help.

You can also ask v0 for suggestions tailored to your own project setup.

Hi @eric-synaptrix-la, 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,

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?
