## Use

Install dependencies with `npm install` or `npm ci`

See scripts in `package.json` to start the local API server and run the tests. The main ones are

* `npm start` - runs the local API server
* `npm run cy:open` - runs Cypress in GUI mode
* `npm test` - starts the local API server and runs Cypress tests against it in headless mode
