Localist Frontend (React + Vite)

This directory contains the frontend application for Localist built with React + Vite.

It provides an event creation form with an embedded Leaflet map and a search bar (leaflet-geosearch). The form uses react-hook-form with a Zod schema to validate and transform outgoing payloads (the schema nests flat latitude/longitude into a location object before sending).

Quick links

• Source: src/
  • Main component: src/components/eventForm.jsx
  • Validation/transform schema: src/schemas/eventPostSchema.js
  • API client: src/services/eventService.js
• Vite config: vite.config.js

Prerequisites

• Node.js (16+ recommended)
• npm or yarn
• Django backend running locally at http://127.0.0.1:8000 if you want the API to respond (the Vite config proxies /api to that address by default)
