Example Code

# Stage 0, "build-stage", based on Node.js, to build and compile the frontend
FROM node:20 AS build-stage

WORKDIR /app

COPY package*.json /app/

RUN npm install

COPY ./ /app/

ARG VITE_API_URL=${VITE_API_URL}

RUN npm run build


# Stage 1, based on Nginx, to have only the compiled app, ready for production with Nginx
FROM nginx:1

COPY --from=build-stage /app/dist/ /usr/share/nginx/html

COPY ./nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
COPY ./nginx-backend-not-found.conf /etc/nginx/extra-conf.d/backend-not-found.conf

Description

when I run docker compose watch and test the forgot password functionality I it works fine but I am curious as to how that is I looked in the frontend code and fount that it uses the loginService but how is this loginService generted if the generate client script is never run in the dockerfile of the frontend. Furthermore, once the client generation question is resolved it takes us to the next question if there is no smtp host how is mailcatcher used instead?
