Visual Studio Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Project > Open in Visual Studio. Your Solution Explorer will look like this.

Visual Studio Solution Explorer

2. Opening & Testing API Project

To Open API Project: Click the arrow beside LostAtlasCAH.API and double click the LostAtlasCAH.API.sln. The solution should look like the following image. Now click Build in the top toolbar.
If you click the IIS Express button to run the API Project it should open a web browser and show demo API values.

3. Opening & Testing React Project

To go back to both project folders (REACT + API) Click the Solutions & Folders icon I've circled.
You're gonna want a Terminal window to interact with. I recommend this terminal extension.
After you install open it by using shortcut "Ctrl+\, Ctrl+\"

Note: The rest of these instructions will be the same for the Visual Studio Code Instructions

Run React Project: In the terminal go into React project folder with command "cd LostAstlasCAH.React"
Run command run "npm install" to get the node_modules folder
Run command "node server.min.js"
Go to the browser and type in "localhost:3000". The react project should open in browser.
To close the server use command "Ctr + C" while in the terminal.
