## Configuration
|
|
|
|
This project is structured as a monorepo using npm workspaces, separated into three packages:
|
|
|
|
- `client` - Next.js application for the front-end, deployed to [ches.su](https://ches.su).
|
|
- `server` - Node/Express.js application for the back-end, deployed to [server.ches.su](https://server.ches.su).
|
|
- `types` - Shared type definitions for the client and server.
|
|
|
|
For separate deployments, you may exclude the `client` or `server` directory. However, you should include the `types` folder as it contains shared type definitions that are required by both packages.
