# View Some Dogs
This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/about/) web application
using the [Koa](https://koajs.com/) and [React](https://reactjs.org/)
web frameworks.
## Getting started
You will need to install Node.js.
For best results, use [Node.js 16 or higher](https://nodejs.org/).
You can check your current version of Node.js with
```sh
$ node --version
v16.17.0
```
Open two terminal sessions. They will be for running the
frontend and backend separately.
To start up the server in the backend,
```sh
cd backend
npm install
npx ts-node server.ts
```
Alternatively, you can run with the compiled server code
```sh
npm run deploy
```
Check the package.json for more possible commands
If the server starts successfully, you will see
```sh
Server running on http://localhost:8080
```
in the terminal.
To start up the frontend run
```sh
cd frontend
npm install
npm run start
```
in your other terminal tab.
Note that `npm install` in this case will result in a few **high severity vulnerabilities** being discovered.
However, this is just a false positive which you can read more about from a Meta engineer himself [here](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/11174)
If the server starts successfully, you will see
```
You can now view dogs in the browser.
Local: http://localhost:3000
On Your Network: http://networkaddress:3000
Note that the development build is not optimized.
To create a production build, use npm run build.
webpack compiled successfully
```
## In your browser
Once both servers are started, you can navigate to:
1. Application website - http://localhost:3000
2. Server w/ endpoints - http://localhost:8080
