Wiki TLDR is a React application that fetches and displays summarized versions of Wikipedia pages.
Install Dependencies: Run npm install
in the project directory to install all the necessary dependencies listed in package.json.
Backend Service: Ensure that there is a backend service running on http://localhost:5000
that can handle the /search
, /random
, and /summarize
endpoints as these are used in the App.js file to fetch data.
Environment Setup: Make sure your development environment is set up for React development. This includes having Node.js installed.
Start the Application: Use the npm start
command to start the development server. This should compile the React application and serve it on a local web server, typically accessible at http://localhost:3000
.
Database/Storage: If the application requires a database or any storage service, ensure that it is properly set up and configured to store and retrieve the necessary data.
API Keys: If the application requires any API keys for external services (not evident from the provided files), make sure they are obtained and configured properly.
Test the application to ensure that all features are working as expected. This includes entering a Wikipedia page name, fetching a summary, and using the randomize feature.
For the application to be accessible on the web, you will need to deploy it to a web server or a cloud service provider.
Ensure that proper error handling is in place for network requests and server responses.
Review the application for security vulnerabilities, particularly if it will be deployed publicly.
Update the README.md with any additional setup steps, usage instructions, or other documentation that might be helpful for users or developers.
