# Modern Recipe Management System

A complete modern web application built with Node.js, TypeScript, React, and MySQL - a modern alternative to the existing PHP application.

## 🚀 Architecture Overview

### Backend (Node.js + TypeScript)
- **Express.js** REST API server
- **Prisma ORM** for type-safe database access  
- **TypeScript** for development safety
- **MySQL** database (shared with PHP version)
- **Security** middleware (Helmet, CORS, rate limiting)

### Frontend (React + TypeScript) 
- **React 18** with functional components and hooks
- **TypeScript** for type safety
- **Vite** for fast development and building
- **React Router** for client-side routing
- **Axios** for API communication
- **Modern CSS** with responsive design

### Database
- **MySQL 8.0** (same database as PHP version)
- **Prisma** schema mapped to existing tables
- **Compatible** with current PHP application

## 🌐 Live URLs

- **React Frontend**: http://localhost:5173
- **Node.js API**: http://localhost:3001
- **PHP Application**: http://localhost:8082 (when Docker is running)
- **phpMyAdmin**: http://localhost:8083 (when Docker is running)

## � Quick Start

### 1. Start the Database (existing Docker setup)
```bash
# From main project directory
docker-compose up -d
```

### 2. Start the Node.js Backend
```bash
cd backend
npm install
npm run build
node dist/app.js
```

### 3. Start the React Frontend  
```bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```

## 📱 Features Implemented
