### Connect Frontend to Backend



After deploying the backend, update the frontend configuration:



1. **Update API URL** in `src/config.ts`:

```typescript

export const API_CONFIG = {

  PRODUCTION_API_URL: 'https://your-heroku-app.herokuapp.com',

  // ...

};

```



2. **Redeploy frontend** to Netlify with the new configuration.



## 🔧 Configuration



### Environment Variables



#### Frontend (`src/config.ts`)

```typescript

export const API_CONFIG = {

  PRODUCTION_API_URL: 'https://your-heroku-app.herokuapp.com',

  DEVELOPMENT_API_URL: 'http://localhost:8000',

};

```



#### Backend (Heroku Config Vars)

```bash

heroku config:set ENVIRONMENT=production

heroku config:set CORS_ORIGINS=https://your-netlify-app.netlify.app

```

```



## 🐛 Troubleshooting



### Common Issues



#### Frontend

- **Build fails**: Check TypeScript errors with `npm run lint`

- **API connection fails**: Verify backend URL in `src/config.ts`

- **Upload not working**: Check file size (< 10MB) and format (PDF only)



#### Backend

- **spaCy model not found**: Run `python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm`

- **Memory issues on Heroku**: Upgrade to Standard dyno

- **CORS errors**: Check allowed origins in `main.py`



### Debug Mode



Enable debug logging by updating `src/config.ts`:
