## 🚀 Running the Frontend
The frontend is served directly by the FastAPI backend - no separate server needed!
### Quick Start
```bash
# One command to start everything
./run_app.sh
# Or manually
python -m backend.src.api.main
```
### Access Points
- **Main UI**: http://localhost:8000
- **Login**: http://localhost:8000/login.html
- **Register**: http://localhost:8000/register.html
- **Admin Panel**: http://localhost:8000/admin.html
- **API Docs**: http://localhost:8000/docs

## 🔐 Authentication Flow
### Local Registration/Login
1. User visits `/register.html`
2. Enters email and password
3. Backend creates user with hashed password (bcrypt)
4. User redirected to login page
5. User logs in at `/login.html`
6. Backend generates JWT token
7. Token stored in localStorage
8. User redirected to main application
### Google OAuth Flow
1. User clicks "Continue with Google" on login page
2. Backend generates random state and redirects to Google
3. User authenticates with Google (password stays at Google)
4. Google redirects back with authorization code
5. Backend exchanges code for user info
6. Backend creates/updates user in database
7. Backend generates JWT token
8. User automatically logged in and redirected

---
## 🔧 Technical Implementation
### Authentication Helper (`auth.js`)
```javascript
// Core functions
- checkAuth(): Verify JWT token and redirect if invalid
- logout(): Clear token and redirect to login
- redirectIfAuthenticated(): Send logged-in users to main app
- checkAdminAuth(): Verify admin role for admin pages
```
### JWT Token Management
**Storage:** localStorage with key `token`
**Payload:**
```json
{
"sub": "user@example.com",
"role": "user",
"exp": 1234567890
}
```
**Usage:**
- Included in all API requests as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
- Checked on page load for authentication state
- Automatically refreshed before expiration
### API Integration
**Making Authenticated Requests:**
```javascript
const response = await fetch('/recommend', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query: userQuery })
});
```

## 📊 User Flows
### First-Time User
1. Visits http://localhost:8000
2. Redirected to `/login.html` (no token found)
3. Clicks "Register here"
4. Fills registration form at `/register.html`
5. Redirected to `/login.html`
6. Logs in with credentials
7. Redirected to `/` (main app)
8. Can now get recommendations
### Returning User (Local Login)
1. Visits http://localhost:8000
2. Redirected to `/login.html` (token expired/missing)
3. Enters email and password
4. Receives JWT token
5. Redirected to main app
6. Token stored in localStorage
7. Future visits skip login (until token expires)
### Google OAuth User
1. Visits `/login.html`
2. Clicks "Continue with Google"
3. Redirected to Google login
4. Authenticates with Google account
5. Google redirects back to app
