How to install

First, you have to install node v16.17.0 (if you use nvm just install it with nvm install 16.17.0 and then run nvm use). The npm version I used is 8.15.0, you might have to update to this version. Finally just run npm install

How to run locally

Open two terminals, run nvm use in both of them then npm run start-frontend and npm run start-server respectively. Navigating to http://localhost:8080 should display the movie search application.

Other npm scripts

• compile-server: runs typescript compilation in the server folder
• compile-client: runs typescript compilation in the client folder
• compile: runs typescript compilation in both client and server folders
• lint: runs eslint in both client and server folders
• build-frontend: builds a production bundle of the client
• build-server: builds a production bundle of the server

Things to improve / add

• have a common folder / package for common utilities, constants, types (for example Movie type)
• deal with envs to be able to change service url and other things (with Dotenv)
• build the whole app into one common dist folder
• move favicon, index.html and other static files to an assets folder
• use monorepo lib (like lerna) or npm workspaces
• better design :D
• much more error handling
• tests...
• improve production builds with more customization
