3This app is a starter template for client-side React and server-side Hono.
4
5- **Remix** this starter template on the top right to get started.
7- The **entrypoint** is `/backend/index.ts`. That's the backend HTTP server, which also serves the all the frontend assets.
8
9- The **client-side entrypoint** is `/frontend/index.html`, which in turn imports `/frontend/index.tsx`, which in turn imports the React app from `/frontend/components/App.tsx`.
10
11[React Hono Example](https://www.val.town/x/stevekrouse/reactHonoExample) is a fuller featured example project, with a SQLite database table, queries, client-side CSS and a favicon, and some shared code that runs on both client and server.

12## Serving assets to the frontend
13
14This backend HTTP server is responsible for serving all static assets to the browser to render the app, including HTML, JavaScript (including all client-side React), CSS, and even the favicon SVG.
15
16In a normal server environment, you would likely use a middleware [like this one](https://hono.dev/docs/getting-started/nodejs#serve-static-files) to serve static files. Some frameworks or deployment platforms automatically make any content inside a `public/` folder public.
26## CRUD API Routes
27
28This app has two CRUD API routes: for reading and inserting into the messages table. They both speak JSON, which is standard. They import their functions from `/backend/database/queries.ts`. These routes are called from the React app to refresh and update data.
