rework how the frontend is started (#361)
renamed frontend-config to api-url
renamed backend-config to config
removed api call to set frontend-config as the frontend either know where the backend is as it is delivered by it or get's this information via the enviroment variable REACT_APP_BACKEND
always start the client on Port 3001 as the backend will run on 3000 during development. changed the port on multiple occasions to accommodate for this
added package.json script 'start:dev'
changed README to better explain how to run backend and frontend side-by-side

# CodiMD - React Client
![e2e](https://github.com/codimd/react-client/workflows/e2e/badge.svg)
This is the new, improved and better looking frontend for CodiMD 2.0.
Our goal is to recreate the current frontend in react and to improve it.
## Preparation
You'll need at least Node 10 (we recommend 12). We use [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) for our dependencies, but npm can work too.
## Development mode
1. Clone this repo (e.g. `git clone https://github.com/codimd/react-client.git codimd-react-client`)
2. Go inside the repo (e.g. `cd codimd-react-client`)
3. run `yarn install`
4. Either run
- `yarn start:dev` (expects [a server](https://github.com/codimd/server/tree/develop) running under [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000))
- `yarn start` (makes all api calls to the same domain the react-client runs on (normally [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001) ))
This should run the app in the development mode and open [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001) in your browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
### Tests
#### Unit
Unit testing is done via jest.
1. run `yarn test`
#### End2End
We use [cypress](https://cypress.io) for e2e tests.
1. Run the frontend with `yarn start`
2. RUn `yarn cy:open` to open the cypress test loader
3. Choose your browser and test
4. Let the tests run
## Production mode
1. Clone this repo (e.g. `git clone https://github.com/codimd/react-client.git codimd-react-client`)
2. Go inside the repo (e.g. `cd codimd-react-client`)
3. run `yarn install`
4. run `yarn build`
Builds the app for production to the `build` folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
