Two apps:

• frontend/ — React + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind
• backend/ — Node + Express + TypeScript + Prisma + PostgreSQL

Backend setup

1. cd backend
2. copy .env.example → .env and set DATABASE_URL and JWT_SECRET.
3. Install deps: npm install
4. Generate Prisma client: npm run prisma:generate
5. Run migrations (creates DB tables): npm run prisma:migrate
6. Start dev server: npm run dev
   • Server runs at http://localhost:4000 (default port)

Frontend setup

1. cd frontend
2. copy .env.example → .env
3. Install deps: npm install
4. Start dev server: npm run dev
   • Frontend runs at http://localhost:5173 (Vite default)

Notes

• Default API URL is VITE_API_URL in frontend/.env.
• Auth uses JWT — token is returned on login and should be stored client-side (example stores it in localStorage).
• Prisma schema is in backend/prisma/schema.prisma.
