developing

working on the backend

there is not much else to do, write your code, python -m betanin.entry.betanin, kill it, write your code, etc. the webserver will be available at http://localhost:9393/. the static frontend is served at /, and the api is served at /api. (there is a swagger ui there too) also see python -m betanin.entry.shell.
if you need to do a manual migration do env FLASK_APP='betanin.application:create' flask db migrate --directory betanin_migrations/ (then upgrades are automatically done on betanin start)

working on the frontend

start the backend with python -m betanin.entry.betanin, but don’t use the static frontend served at http://localhost:9393/. Instead, in a new shell, do npm --prefix betanin_client/ run serve and use the frontend served at http://localhost:8081/. it will look for a backend listening on port 9393 locally. after that you can edit anything in betanin_client/src, it will be linted and automatically reflected in your web browser.
