Getting Started
This repository leverages VSCode's devcontainer feature to ensure all necessary dependencies are available inside the container for development.
Application
To get started, download the supporting metadata into public/ (so the app can load it at runtime), then install and start the project:
curl -L --compressed https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xsalazar/emoji-kitchen-backend/main/app/metadata.json -o public/metadata.json
npm install && npm start
The metadata is loaded asynchronously after the app, which keeps the initial JavaScript bundle small and improves startup time.
This will start the application on your local machine, running on http://localhost:5173/.
Deployments
All application deployments are managed via GitHub Actions and the ./.github/workflows/deploy.yml workflow.
Additionally, application dependencies are automatically managed and updated via Dependabot and the ./.github/workflows/automerge-dependabot.yml workflow.
