Gulp

Gulp is a task runner and build system for JavaScript projects. It helps automate repetitive tasks such as file minification, compilation, testing, and more. It uses a simple and intuitive syntax, allowing developers to define tasks and dependencies easily. Gulp simplifies the development process by automating common workflows, making it a popular tool among web developers.

When building a web application with ReactJS, you may need to include a backend server for handling server-side logic and API requests. Express is a popular choice for creating backend servers in Node.js. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to integrate Express with a React app using Gulp as the build tool. Gulp will allow us to run both the React development server and the Express server concurrently.
