};
```

## 🔧 **Configuration**

### **Environment Variables**
```bash
# API Configuration
VITE_API_BASE_URL=https://api.yourdomain.com
VITE_ENABLE_MOCK_API=false

# Features
VITE_ENABLE_ANALYTICS=true
VITE_ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTING=true

# Analytics
VITE_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID=GA_MEASUREMENT_ID
VITE_SENTRY_DSN=YOUR_SENTRY_DSN
```

## 🚀 **Deployment**

### **Build for Production**
```bash
npm run build
```

### **Deploy to Vercel**
```bash
npm install -g vercel
vercel --prod
```

### **Deploy to Netlify**
```bash
npm run build
# Deploy dist/ folder to Netlify
```

### **Docker Deployment**
```dockerfile
FROM node:18-alpine as builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY --from=builder /app/dist /usr/share/nginx/html
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]
```

## 🔌 **API Integration**

### **Replace Mock API**
1. Update `VITE_API_BASE_URL` in `.env.local`
2. Set `VITE_ENABLE_MOCK_API=false`
3. Implement backend endpoints:
   - `POST /auth/login` - User authentication
   - `POST /auth/register` - User registration
   - `POST /chat/message` - Send message to AI

### **Backend Requirements**
```typescript
// Expected API responses
interface LoginResponse {
  user: User;
  token: string;
}

interface ChatResponse {
  message: {
    id: string;
    content: string;
    role: 'assistant';
    timestamp: string;
  };
}
```
