the frontend is made with Vue and Vite
Ensure that npm is installed and run below to start the frontend.
npm i; npm run dev
automatically sets route for the api usage based on the NODE_ENV variable.
When using vite build the variable will be set to production when using vite run the variable is set to development
Whilst the variable is set to prod it will use the notesrus.nzdev.org api however using development will search for the api running on port 3000 on the localmachine
you can manually change this by adding NODE_ENV=production or development before vite run
example for using server instead of localhost
NODE_ENV=production vite run
