Setup

• Add the following to client/vite.config.js Here /api/v1 is mapped to http://localhost:5000/ which is where the server resides

  server: {
      proxy: {
        "/api/v1": "http://localhost:5000/",
      },
    },
  
  

• The react app uses /api/v1 as base url and the server base endpoint url is /api/v1
• Using /api/v1 as base url is arbitrary. Notice however that it appears in 3 places : client/vite.config.js , on the client side source files and on the server side source files

Installation

Perform the following from root directory , client directory and server directory

npm i

Run the project

Invoke from the root project to run the server and the client. This is done using concurrently

npm start

Limitation

i was not able to map "/" because then localhost:3000/ is used
