Getting Started

React + Vite Setup

This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules. Two official plugins are available for handling Fast Refresh:

• @vitejs/plugin-react: This plugin uses Babel for Fast Refresh.

• @vitejs/plugin-react-swc: This alternative uses SWC for Fast Refresh.

Feel free to choose the plugin that best fits your preferences or project requirements.

Skills

This project showcases the use of various technologies and skills, including:

• React.js: Leveraging the power of React for building dynamic and interactive user interfaces.

• React Hooks: Specifically, the useAuth0 hook from the '@auth0/auth0-react' library is used in both the 'LoginLogout' and 'Profile' components. This hook provides authentication-related functionality to these components.

• Context API: The project utilizes the Context API in React for managing authentication state. This is evident in the 'LoginLogout' component where it mentions the utilization of Context API to manage authentication.

• Authentication and Authorization: The project implements user authentication and authorization using Auth0. Auth0 provides authentication as a service, allowing developers to easily add authentication features to their applications.

• Vite: Employing Vite as the build tool for fast and efficient development and bundling.

• Tailwind CSS: Styling the application using the utility-first CSS framework Tailwind CSS for a responsive and modern design.

• npm: Managing project dependencies and scripts using the Node Package Manager.

• Node.js: Providing the runtime environment for building and running JavaScript applications.

• Git: Version control and collaboration using Git for tracking changes and managing project history.

Help / Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while setting up or running the project, consider the following advice for common problems:

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Node.js and npm Version:

   • Ensure you have a compatible version of Node.js installed. This project is designed to work with Node.js version 14.x or later. You can check your Node.js version by running:

     node -v

   Update Node.js if needed: Download Node.js

2. Installation Failures:

   • If you face issues during the installation of dependencies, try running:

     npm install --legacy-peer-deps

   This can sometimes resolve compatibility problems with peer dependencies.

3. Port Already in Use:

   • If the development server fails to start due to a port conflict, you can specify a different port using:

     npm run dev -- --port <desired-port>
