-# React + Vite
+# Listhub Frontend Repository
 
-This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.
+To start developing
 
-Currently, two official plugins are available:
+```bash
+npm install
+```
 
-- [@vitejs/plugin-react](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react) uses [Oxc](https://oxc.rs)
-- [@vitejs/plugin-react-swc](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react-swc) uses [SWC](https://swc.rs/)
+and then
 
-## React Compiler
+```bash
+npm run start
+```
 
-The React Compiler is not enabled on this template because of its impact on dev & build performances. To add it, see [this documentation](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler/installation).
 
-## Expanding the ESLint configuration
+## API configuration
 
-If you are developing a production application, we recommend using TypeScript with type-aware lint rules enabled. Check out the [TS template](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/tree/main/packages/create-vite/template-react-ts) for information on how to integrate TypeScript and [`typescript-eslint`](https://typescript-eslint.io) in your project.
+The frontend reads the base backend URL from `VITE_API_URL` in `src/config/api.js`.
+
+- Default: `/api/v1` (works with the Vite dev proxy)
+- To override it, create a local `.env` file and set `VITE_API_URL` to your backend URL
+
+See `.env.example` for a ready-to-copy example.
