# Data Entry App

Initial MVP implementation of the costing platform described in `CLAUDE.MD`.

## Structure

```text
backend/   FastAPI API, SQLAlchemy models, costing engine, seed data, tests
frontend/  SvelteKit UI scaffold for dashboard and core modules
```

## Backend

Create a virtual environment, install dependencies, then run:

```bash
cd backend
pip install -e .
uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload
```

API docs will be available at `http://localhost:8000/docs` on the server itself, or `http://<server-ip>:8000/docs` from another machine on the same network.

Useful commands:

```bash
python -m app.seed
pytest
```

The backend defaults to SQLite for the prototype and can be switched with the
`DATABASE_URL` environment variable.

## Frontend

Install dependencies and start the dev server:

```bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```

The frontend dev server now binds to `0.0.0.0`, so you can open it from another machine at `http://<server-ip>:5173`.

By default the browser will call the backend on the same hostname and port `8000`. For example, if you open the UI at `http://10.0.0.124:5173`, it will call `http://10.0.0.124:8000`.

Useful environment variables:

```bash
PUBLIC_API_PORT=8000
PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL=http://10.0.0.124:8000
CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS=http://10.0.0.124:5173
```

Set `PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` when the API is on a different machine or behind a different public URL. Set `CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS` or `CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN_REGEX` if you want to narrow backend CORS more tightly than the default private-network allowance.

## Delivered in this MVP

- Raw materials with versioned prices
- Mixes with ingredient rows and calculated cost per kg
- Products with transparent cost breakdowns
- Scenario runs with override support
- Power BI-style reporting endpoints
- SvelteKit dashboard and module pages aligned to the API contract
