This project uses Vue 3, Typescript, Vite, and Tailwind. In order to proxy API requests it uses Cloudflare Pages Functions. Deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

# Set Node version
n auto

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run cloudflare proxy + Vite development server
npm run dev

Development server will be available on http:https://localhost:4220

Great question. 5173 (kinda looks like VITE) is Vite development server port. 4220 (kinda looks like Airbus A220) is Cloudflare dev server port. Cloudflare proxies requests to Vite:

Your browser -> Cloudflare -> Vite

It works the same way in production. In this project, we use Cloudflare as a "backend" and it only processes /airplanes endpoint which responds with a JSON.
