� Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (version 16 or higher)
• npm or yarn package manager

Installation

1. Clone the repository (if applicable) or navigate to the project directory:

   cd "c:\Users\umesh\OneDrive\Desktop\Frontend"

2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm install

Running the Application

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always start the mock server before running the frontend!

Step 1: Start the Mock Server

The application requires a mock API server to function properly. Start it first:

npm run api

This will start the mock server on http://localhost:3000. You should see:

Mock API Server running on http://localhost:3000

Keep this terminal window open - the server needs to run continuously.

Step 2: Start the Frontend (in a new terminal)

Open a new terminal window/tab and run:

npm run dev

This will start the Vite development server on http://localhost:5173.

Alternative Commands

• Build for production:

  npm run build

• Preview production build:

  npm run preview

• Run linting:

  npm run lint

🔧 Mock Server API

The mock server provides the following endpoints for development and testing:

Base URL: http://localhost:3000

Events

• GET /api/events - Get all events
• GET /api/events/:id - Get specific event

🔧 Mock Server

🚦 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Network Error" or API not responding

   • Solution: Make sure the mock server is running (npm run api)
   • Check that http://localhost:3000 is accessible

2. Port conflicts

   • Frontend (5173): Change port in vite.config.js
   • Backend (3000): Modify PORT variable in mock-server.js

3. Dependencies not found

   • Solution: Run npm install to install all dependencies
   • Delete node_modules and package-lock.json, then reinstall

4. Styling issues

   • Solution: Ensure Tailwind CSS is properly installed
   • Check that index.css imports are correct

5. Icons not displaying

   • Solution: Verify react-icons is installed
   • Check import statements for Font Awesome 6 syntax

Development Tips

• Hot Reload: Vite provides instant hot reload for development
• DevTools: Use React Developer Tools browser extension
• Network Tab: Monitor API calls in browser DevTools
• Console Logs: Check browser console for error messages

🚀 Deployment

Build Process

1. Ensure all dependencies are installed
2. Run the build command:
