# Job Tracker frontend

This directory contains the statically exported Next.js 16 / React 19 / TypeScript frontend. Next supplies the build shell; React Router and `src/App.tsx` define the application routes.

## Development and checks

```powershell
npm ci
npm run dev
npm run lint
npm test -- --runInBand
npm run typecheck
npm run build
```

Open `http://localhost:3000`; local API calls use `http://localhost:5202/api`. Install Chromium once and run `npm run test:e2e` for the isolated browser suite.

`NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` is the only browser-visible API setting. Leave it empty in production so nginx proxies same-origin `/api` requests. It is embedded at build time and must never contain secrets.

See the repository [frontend guide](../docs/frontend/README.md) and [configuration reference](../docs/configuration/environment-variables.md).
