This project, image-upload-pwa-example, is a modern web application built using React, TypeScript, and Vite. It's designed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) and allows users to load and save images to IndexedDB from their camera roll or directly from their camera. For a true PWA experience, it is configured to be served over HTTPS, even in development, using https-localhost.

These instructions will guide you through setting up the project on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

• Node.js (version 18.x or later)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/snowball-tools/image-upload-pwa-example.git
   cd image-upload-pwa-example

2. Install the dependencies

npm install

This project uses https-localhost to serve content securely during development. To start the development server with HTTPS enabled, use the dev:https script:

npm run dev:https

After starting the server, open https://localhost in your browser to view the app. https-localhost ensures the local development certificate is trusted by your browser, facilitating the testing of PWA features that require HTTPS, such as service workers and secure context features.

• React for building user interfaces with a component-based architecture.
• TypeScript for static type definitions, enhancing development experience and code quality.
• Vite for ultra-fast development and bundling, leveraging modern web technologies.
• PWA setup for offline support, background sync, and installability, with a secure HTTPS development environment provided by https-localhost.

To build the app for production, run the following command:

npm run build

This will generate a dist directory with your compiled assets, ready to be deployed.

Refer to the Vite Deployment Guide for specific instructions on deploying your application to popular hosting providers.
