[Will format this later]

After first pulling

1. in a terminal run the commands:
   cd server
   npm install
2. in a SEPERATE terminal run the commands:
   cd client
   npm install

---

Running

1. cd into server directory (if not already there)
2. run the command: npm run dev
3. in a seperate terminal, cd inside the client directory (if not already there)
4. run the command: npm start

NOTE: This is like the same as before but the directory structure has changed to hold the react frontend. The server must be started before the frontend

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: The frontend is on localhost:3000 and the backend is on pern-project-3.onrender.com

Frontend Notes

• Each component will be it's own .js file
• We will be using the grid component to organize our layout (see App.js)
• refer to the material ui documentation for basics https://mui.com/material-ui/getting-started/overview/
• Displaying our tables will be done with the material react table api, I used the basic table to implement the restock report table but we can use more advanced ones for tables that require CRUD https://www.material-react-table.com/docs/examples/editing-crud
• See the React Docs for how components work (they're basically classes that are used to represent frontend items)
  https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html
  https://react.dev/learn/your-first-component
• We will definitely have to restructure how things are embedded as the project gets more complicated
• Ask Thomas for any additional questions
