This repo contains a Vite React frontend (in frontend/) and a Node (Express + SQLite) backend adapted to run as serverless functions on Vercel (API entrypoint in api/index.js).

Quick deploy steps:

1. Install dependencies at repo root (for API libs used by the serverless function):

   npm install

2. From project root, run locally for quick smoke:

   node api/index.js

   Then open http://localhost:3000/api/users and http://localhost:3000/api-docs

3. Deploy to Vercel:

   • Connect this repository in the Vercel dashboard. Vercel will run the frontend build (frontend) and build the API function (api/index.js).

   • Or, use the CLI:

     npx vercel --prod

Notes:

• SQLite on serverless is ephemeral. For persistent data, migrate to a managed DB (Postgres, etc.).
• Environment variables: use Vercel dashboard to set any needed env vars (e.g., DB_FILE if you want a custom path).
