## Setting up SvelteKit

### Proxy Configuration for Development

Configure the proxy settings in the `vite.config.ts` file to direct API calls to your ESP32 device. By default it used the factory MDNS address, but can be changed to the ip if preferred.

```ts
server: {
    proxy: {
        '/api': {
            target: 'http://spot-micro.local', // Here
            changeOrigin: true,
            ws: true
        }
    }
},
```

> Changes require a restart of the development server.

### Start the Development Server

Use the following commands to launch the development server with Vite, enabling instant updates:

```sh
cd app
pnpm run dev
```
