# Backend Guide

This guide covers backend-related setup and concepts for the project.

# Overview

While VuePress itself is a static site generator with no backend, projects often need a backend for things like search, contact forms, or dynamic content. This page collects notes and conventions for backend work related to this project.

# Getting Started

  1. Installation: Install the project dependencies.

    npm install
    
  2. Development Server: Start the local development server.

    npm run docs:dev
    
  3. View in Browser: Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/ (opens new window) to view the site.

# Building for Production

To generate a static production build:

npm run docs:build

The output is written to docs/.vuepress/dist and can be deployed to any static hosting provider.
