React + 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 Babel (or oxc when used in rolldown-vite) for Fast Refresh
• @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC for Fast Refresh

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 using TypeScript with type-aware lint rules enabled. Check out the TS template for information on how to integrate TypeScript and typescript-eslint in your project.

Contact form storage (important)

• The contact form API (POST /api/contact) saves messages to two places:
  • Local: server/data/messages.json
  • External, cross-deployment storage: ../message.json relative to the repo (i.e., sibling to thermatechWebsite; on Windows this is C:\Users\...\Desktop\message.json if the repo lives at C:\Users\...\Desktop\thermatechWebsite)
• The external file is append-only so we never lose past submissions across deployments. Do not replace or truncate it; writes must append new entries.
• If a messages file is missing, the backend initializes it as an empty array and then appends.
• If a messages file exists but is not valid JSON array, the backend will reinitialize it to an empty array ([]) before appending new entries.
• If you change the storage path, update operations scripts (e.g. sync_msg.ps1) accordingly and ensure the process still has write permission to the target directory.
