This readme provides an overview of the React-based note-taking application (App.tsx
) and describes its functionality, components, and usage.
The React Note-Taking App is a simple web application designed for creating, editing, and managing notes. It provides a user-friendly interface to create and organize notes, tag them, and edit or delete them as needed. The app is built using React and various libraries such as React Router and React Bootstrap for a responsive and dynamic user experience.

Tagging: Notes can be tagged for better organization. Tags can be created, edited, or deleted.

Clone the repository or download the source code.
-
In the project directory, run the following commands to install the necessary dependencies:
bash
npm install To start the development server and run the application, use the following command:
bash
npm start
This will start the app and open it in your default web browser.
Once the application is running, you can use it to create, edit, and manage notes. Here are some key usage instructions:
Homepage: The homepage displays a list of all your notes along with their associated tags. You can click on a note to view its details, edit it, or delete it.

Edit Note: When viewing a note, you have the option to edit it by navigating to the "/edit" route. Here, you can modify the note's title, content, and tags.
Tags: Tags can be managed through the interface by creating, editing, or deleting them. Tags help in organizing and categorizing notes.
