# Meal AI Starter (Vite + React)

## Quick start

1. Install dependencies

```bash
npm install
```

2. Start the mock server (this simulates your AI endpoint)

```bash
npm run start:server
```

3. In another terminal, run the frontend dev server

```bash
npm run dev
```

4. Open http://localhost:5173


## Notes
- Replace `server/index.js` with your real AI provider call (OpenAI, Anthropic, or your own) to produce `{"mealPlan":[],"groceryList":[]}` JSON output.
- Grocery lists are saved locally to IndexedDB and visible in the Grocery pane even when offline (PWA cache required).
- For packaging into desktop/mobile, wrap the web build with Tauri/Capacitor/Expo and ship the real server or point to your hosted AI.

That's everything in the starter. Run `npm install`, `npm run start:server`, then `npm run dev` to try it locally.
