Hey, if the API calls aren't working then the database credentials might be invalid. Did you add REACT_APP_DB_URI and REACT_APP_JWT_KEY as config variables on Heroku? I used mLab to set up the database a while back, but it looks like they closed new account creation a year ago. Alternatively you can now create a cluster on MongoDB Atlas and paste its connection string as the value for REACT_APP_DB_URI. REACT_APP_JWT_KEY could be set to any string.

sir i found the solution... the folder structure you made is not good... and the main issue was in the package.json file... there is a script heroku postbuild or something like that... it runs and made a build of client project... heroku doesnt care about it and deployed the client build as the main project... i deleted that script and it is now working fine
