KioskBot Frontend

Minimal setup to install and run the app with pnpm.

Quickstart

1. Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ and pnpm installed
  • Windows Setup
    • Run Windows Powershell (64bit) in Administrator mode

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; & "C:\PATH TO Project\kioskbot_frontend\setup\install_node.ps1" "C:\C:\PATH TO Project\kioskbot_frontend\setup"
    
    

  • Mac Setup (with brew)

    chmod +x ./setup/install_node.sh
    ./setup/install_node.sh
    

  • Note that the scripts already installs the dependencies and therefore there is no need to run pnpm install again.

2. Configure environment

• Copy .env.example to .env and set the backend URL:
• PUBLIC_API — the backend base URL (including protocol), e.g. https://your-backend.example.com

3. Start the dev server

pnpm dev

If on windows, execution policy restrictions are present, run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

The app will be available on http://localhost:5173 (default).

Build and preview

pnpm build
pnpm preview

Useful scripts

• pnpm check — Svelte type checks
• pnpm lint — Prettier check + ESLint
• pnpm format — Format files with Prettier

Environment variables

• PUBLIC_API is required and is exposed to the browser. Make sure it points to your backend (and that CORS is configured accordingly).
