## Compose sample application
### Use with Docker Development Environments
You can open this sample in the Dev Environments feature of Docker Desktop version 4.12 or later.
[Open in Docker Dev Environments <img src="../open_in_new.svg" alt="Open in Docker Dev Environments" align="top"/> ](https://open.docker.com/dashboard/dev-envs?url=https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose/tree/master/react-express-mysql )
### React application with a NodeJS backend and a MySQL database

services:
backend:
build: backend
ports:
- 80:80
- 9229:9229
- 9230:9230
...
db:
# We use a mariadb image which supports both amd64 & arm64 architecture
image: mariadb:10.6.4-focal
# If you really want to use MySQL, uncomment the following line
#image: mysql:8.0.27
...
frontend:
build: frontend
ports:
- 3000:3000
...
```
The compose file defines an application with three services `frontend` , `backend` and `db` .
When deploying the application, docker compose maps port 3000 of the frontend service container to port 3000 of the host as specified in the file.
Make sure port 3000 on the host is not already being in use.
> ℹ ️ **_INFO_**
> For compatibility purpose between `AMD64` and `ARM64` architecture, we use a MariaDB as database instead of MySQL.
> You still can use the MySQL image by uncommenting the following line in the Compose file
> `#image: mysql:8.0.27`
## Deploy with docker compose
```
$ docker compose up -d

## Expected result
Listing containers must show containers running and the port mapping as below:
```
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
f3e1183e709e react-express-mysql_frontend "docker-entrypoint.s…" 8 minutes ago Up 8 minutes 0.0.0.0:3000->3000/tcp react-express-mysql_frontend_1
9422da53da76 react-express-mysql_backend "docker-entrypoint.s…" 8 minutes ago Up 8 minutes (healthy) 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9229-9230->9229-9230/tcp react-express-mysql_backend_1
a434bce6d2be mysql:8.0.19 "docker-entrypoint.s…" 8 minutes ago Up 8 minutes 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp react-express-mysql_db_1
```
After the application starts, navigate to `http://localhost:3000` in your web browser.
![page ](./output.png )
The backend service container has the port 80 mapped to 80 on the host.
```
$ curl localhost:80
{"message":"Hello from MySQL 8.0.19"}
```
Stop and remove the containers
```
