The application exposes several API endpoints for data handling. Here are some key endpoints:

• GET /api/items: Fetch a list of items.
• POST /api/items: Create a new item.
• GET /api/items/:id: Fetch a single item by ID.
• PUT /api/items/:id: Update an existing item by ID.
• DELETE /api/items/:id: Delete an item by ID.

To run the application, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. Follow these steps:

1. Start the Server

   Navigate to the server directory and start the server:

   cd server
   npm start

2. Start the Client

   In a new terminal window, navigate to the client directory and start the client:

   cd client
   npm start

Now you can visit http://localhost:3000 to see your application in action.
