Prerequisites

• Docker (for containerization)
• Docker Compose (for managing multi-container Docker applications)
• Node.js V18 (for the React frontend)
• NVM (for managing Node.js versions, optional but recommended)
• .NET SDK V8 (for the .NET backend)

Start with

cd frontend & npm install

When developing for frontend

I would recommend just using npm run dev for and live changes My understanding is that only when you need communications with backend etc. you need to use the following:

Running fullstack app using:

docker-compose up --build

Or to abort if one image fails:

docker-compose up --build --abort-on-container-exit

Ad -d flag if want to run in background

docker-compose up --build --abort-on-container-exit -d

Manually run tests for backend with

dotnet test

Manually run tests for frontend with

npm test or npm vitest
