Daniel 3222dacc9a feat(client): day 6 — scaffold React 19 + Vite + Tailwind v4 + shadcn/ui

New client/ directory, standalone from the backend: Vite 8 + React
19.2 + TypeScript 6. Tailwind v4 via @tailwindcss/vite plugin (no
postcss config needed). shadcn/ui compatibility wired via
components.json + lib/utils.ts. @tanstack/react-query + react-router-dom
installed for server state + routing.

Vite config essentials:
  base: '/app/'     — Express mounts SPA at /app/*, vanilla JS stays at /
  outDir: '../public/app/' — build lands next to existing static assets
  @/*     → ./src/*      (client-local imports)
  @shared/* → ../shared/* (typed wire protocol shared with backend)
  server.proxy '/api' → localhost:3000 for `npm run dev`

tsconfig.app.json — added baseUrl + paths + include ../shared so the
shared/types.ts + schemas.ts are typechecked on the client side too.

src/index.css — Tailwind v4 @import, shadcn HSL design tokens (light +
dark schemes). Replaces the vite starter template's decorative styles.

No backend touched. Express route serving /app/* lands in Day 7.

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 Oxc
@vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC

React Compiler

The React Compiler is not enabled on this template because of its impact on dev & build performances. To add it, see this documentation.

Expanding the ESLint configuration

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

export default defineConfig([
  globalIgnores(['dist']),
  {
    files: ['**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
    extends: [
      // Other configs...

      // Remove tseslint.configs.recommended and replace with this
      tseslint.configs.recommendedTypeChecked,
      // Alternatively, use this for stricter rules
      tseslint.configs.strictTypeChecked,
      // Optionally, add this for stylistic rules
      tseslint.configs.stylisticTypeChecked,

      // Other configs...
    ],
    languageOptions: {
      parserOptions: {
        project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
        tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
      },
      // other options...
    },
  },
])

You can also install eslint-plugin-react-x and eslint-plugin-react-dom for React-specific lint rules:

// eslint.config.js
import reactX from 'eslint-plugin-react-x'
import reactDom from 'eslint-plugin-react-dom'

export default defineConfig([
  globalIgnores(['dist']),
  {
    files: ['**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
    extends: [
      // Other configs...
      // Enable lint rules for React
      reactX.configs['recommended-typescript'],
      // Enable lint rules for React DOM
      reactDom.configs.recommended,
    ],
    languageOptions: {
      parserOptions: {
        project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
        tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
      },
      // other options...
    },
  },
])
