QR Code App
This repository contains a simple QR-code backend (FastAPI) and a React + Vite frontend.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ (for backend)
- Node.js (18+) and npm (for frontend)
Backend (FastAPI)
1) Create and activate a virtual environment
```bash
python3 -m venv backend/.venv
source backend/.venv/bin/activate # macOS / Linux
```
2) Install Python dependencies
```bash
pip install -r backend/requirements.txt
```
3) Run the backend (development)
```bash
uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5001 --reload
# option B (uses the included runner)
python backend/main.py
```
The backend listens on port 5001 by default and exposes the QR generator at:
POST http://localhost:5001/api/qrcode/generate
Payload JSON shape: { "text": "string", "size": number }
Response: image/png (binary image bytes)
Frontend (React + Vite)
1) Install dependencies and run dev server
```bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```
Vite's dev server typically serves at http://localhost:5173. The frontend is configured to call the backend at http://localhost:5001 (see frontend/src/api/qrcode.ts). Ensure the backend is running before using the UI.
Notes
- CORS is enabled in the backend for local development.
- If you change backend port, update the host constant in `frontend/src/api/qrcode.ts`.
