SushiMate Monorepo

Curated developer-friendly workspace that bundles the SushiMate frontend (Vite + React + Tailwind) and the companion Express mock API. Everything lives under apps/ with npm workspaces so engineers can install once and run both stacks with a single command.

Quick Start

cd site3
npm install        # installs root + all workspaces
npm run dev        # runs frontend (5173) + backend (5001) in parallel

Useful Scripts

Script	What it does
npm run dev	Spins up Vite + Express together via npm-run-all
npm run build	Type-checks and builds the frontend into apps/frontend/dist
npm run start	Launches the Express API only (after npm install)
npm run lint	ESLint pass for the React app

All scripts can be executed from repo root. Under the hood they proxy to the corresponding workspace.

Environment & Secrets

• Frontend has no env requirements; API base URL is set in src/services/api.ts.
• Backend reads apps/backend/.env. Start from .env.example and never commit secrets.
• .gitignore already excludes env files + build artifacts.

Dev Notes

• The repo installs cleanly with Node 20+.
• MongoDB is optional; without MONGODB_URI the API reverts to the included mock data.
• Pending follow-ups: /order/success + /order/failed routes on the frontend, plus photo swaps if we get studio assets.

Have fun — everything is wired so another developer can open the repo and ship within minutes.
