Had issues with main branch so actual full code is on dev-2, and dev is being deployed on the server.

Getting started

Create Vite Project

npm create vite@latest . -- --template react-ts

Next run:

npm install

Install MUI

Install library

npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled

Install icons

npm install @mui/icons-material

Access localhost website

Run the following:

Go to http://localhost:5173/ in your browser to see website.

Setting up Tailwind CSS for a React TypeScript + Vite Project

Follow these steps to integrate Tailwind CSS into your React TypeScript project.

---

1. Install Tailwind CSS

Run the following command to install Tailwind CSS and its dependencies:

npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer

2. Initialize Tailwind CSS

Initialize the Tailwind configuration files:

npx tailwindcss init

This will create a tailwind.config.js file in the root of your project.

3. Configure Tailwind

Update tailwind.config.js to specify the paths to your source files:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
export default {
  content: [
    "./index.html",
    "./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

4. Add Tailwind Directives to CSS

Create a new CSS file (e.g., src/index.css) if it doesn’t already exist. Add the following Tailwind directives:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

Installing react-router-dom

npm install react-router-dom

React + TypeScript + Vite

This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.

Currently, two official plugins are available:

• @vitejs/plugin-react uses Babel for Fast Refresh
• @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC for Fast Refresh

Expanding the ESLint configuration

If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type aware lint rules:

• Configure the top-level parserOptions property like this:

export default tseslint.config({
  languageOptions: {
    // other options...
    parserOptions: {
      project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
      tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
    },
  },
})

• Replace tseslint.configs.recommended to tseslint.configs.recommendedTypeChecked or tseslint.configs.strictTypeChecked
• Optionally add ...tseslint.configs.stylisticTypeChecked
• Install eslint-plugin-react and update the config:

// eslint.config.js
import react from 'eslint-plugin-react'

export default tseslint.config({
  // Set the react version
  settings: { react: { version: '18.3' } },
  plugins: {
    // Add the react plugin
    react,
  },
  rules: {
    // other rules...
    // Enable its recommended rules
    ...react.configs.recommended.rules,
    ...react.configs['jsx-runtime'].rules,
  },
})

Setting up PostgreSQL (Windows):

• Download PostgreSQL Version 17.2 from https://www.postgresql.org/download/
• Make sure PostgreSQL Server, pgAdmin 4, and Command Line Tools are selected
• Once installed, launch pgAdmin and click "Add New Server"
• In the General tab "Name" box, type "aardvarklocal"
• In the Connection tab "Host name/address" box, type "localhost"
• In the Connection tab, set a password in the designated box. Keep the username as "postgres"
• Click save. The server should be registered in pgAdmin

Loading data into PostgreSQL server:

• Download the "aardvarkdb.sql" file pinned in the developer channel in the discord
• Ensure you are connected to the PostgreSQL server in pgAdmin
• Expand the "aardvarklocal" > "Databases(1)" > "postgres" tree and click on postgres
• Click "Tools" on the top bar, and then "Query Tool"
• Click the folder button within the tool and load the script. The db should now be loaded in
