Full-stack Gemini App (React + Tailwind + Express)

Run the React frontend and Express backend together. The backend proxies requests to the Gemini API. All code is JavaScript.

Prereqs

• Node.js 18+

Setup

1. Create the environment file for the backend:

   • Create server/.env with:

     GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
     PORT=5000
     

2. Install dependencies for both apps:

   npm run install-all

3. Start both servers (concurrently):

   npm run dev

Frontend: http://localhost:5173
Backend: http://localhost:5000

Notes

• The frontend calls the backend route POST /api/gemini with { prompt }.
• The backend uses axios to call the Gemini API and returns JSON like { text, raw }.
• Tailwind CSS is configured in the client/ folder with Vite.
