🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the Frontend directory:

VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:5001

For production, update with your deployed backend URL:

VITE_API_URL=https://your-backend-url.railway.app

🚀 Deployment

Option 1: Vercel + Railway (Recommended)

Frontend (Vercel)

1. Push to GitHub
2. Connect repository to Vercel
3. Set build directory to Frontend
4. Add environment variable: VITE_API_URL=https://your-backend-url.railway.app

Backend (Railway)

1. Connect GitHub repository to Railway
2. Set root directory to backend
3. Railway will auto-detect Python and install dependencies
4. Deploy!

Option 2: All-in-One (Render)

1. Create two services on Render:
   • Web Service for backend (Python)
   • Static Site for frontend (React)
