I created a client and server folder, the server will serve the static and bundled (webpack) files from the client (using ReactJS) and also will have an API, I was wondering, is it wrong or not recommended to have only one package.json for both client and server or it&#39;s better to have separeted, like this:
1:
<ul>
<li>package.json:</li>
<li>client</li>
<li>server</li>
</ul>
2:
<ul>
<li>client:<ul>
<li>package.json</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>server<ul>
<li>package.json</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
The only way I know how to deploy a NodeJs app is like this where Express will serve the static file and also have the API routes. I don&#39;t know if it&#39;s possible to have two separated severs, one for the API and another one for the client. Any ideas?

Best practice when creating client and server NodeJS?
