To build and run the app you must have Swift and Node.js installed. Yarn is also recommened, but it is not required.
First install the dependencies using yarn install or npm install. Running this in the root directory will install the dependencies in both the root and client directories.
To run the app in development use yarn start or npm run start in the root directory. This will run both the Vapor backend and the React frontend.
The client is available at localhost:3000 and the api is at localhost:8080.
Optionally you can run only one of them using either yarn start-api or yarn start --api and yarn start-client or yarn start --client respectively. However, running the client on its own is not recommened as it will not function properly without the backend.
You can also prevent the vapor app from being built by running either yarn start:no-build or yarn start --no-build. This is useful if the vapor app has already been built and there is no need to build it before running it.
To create a production build run yarn build or npm run build in the root directory. This will build both the api and the client.
Optionally you can build a specific one of them using either yarn build-api or yarn build --api and yarn build-client or yarn build --client respectively.
If you use npm instead of yarn you will need to prefix the commands with run. Also with npm you are required to place -- before any arguments. So to build the api you would need to run npm run build -- --api.
