# Fast Inventory
|
|
|
|
A quick-entry home inventory tool. Add items in seconds, track values, manage status, attach photos and receipts.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open http://localhost:5173
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
**Add an item:** Type a name in the top bar and press Enter. That's it — 1 second.
|
|
|
|
**Enriched entry:** Name → Tab → Category (autocomplete) → Tab → Location (autocomplete) → Enter. About 3 seconds.
|
|
|
|
**Edit details:** Click any item row to open the detail modal. Add purchase price, date, notes, photos, receipts, or change status.
|
|
|
|
**Statuses:** Active, Lent Out, Sold, Lost, Trashed. Defaults to Active.
|
|
|
|
**Stats:** Click the Stats tab for value breakdowns, item counts, and inflow/outflow charts.
|
|
|
|
## Production
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run build
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Runs on http://localhost:3001 (single server, no separate frontend process).
|
|
|
|
Set a custom port with `PORT=8080 npm start`.
|
|
|
|
## Tech Stack
|
|
|
|
- **Backend:** Express + TypeScript + SQLite (better-sqlite3)
|
|
- **Frontend:** React + Vite + Tailwind CSS + Recharts
|
|
- **Storage:** SQLite database at `server/data/inventory.db`, uploads at `server/uploads/`
|
|
|
|
## Data
|
|
|
|
All data is local. The SQLite database and uploaded files live in the `server/` directory:
|
|
|
|
- `server/data/inventory.db` — database
|
|
- `server/uploads/` — photos and receipts
|
|
|
|
Back up these two paths to preserve your inventory.
