+### setup proxy for react frontend to communicate with dotnet backend
+Add a proxy field to your React app's package.json to handle API calls to the .NET backend:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "your-react-app",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "private": true,
+  "proxy": "http://localhost:5000",
+  "dependencies": {
+    // ... your dependencies
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This proxy configuration allows your React app (running on port 3000) to make API calls to your .NET backend (running on port 5000) without CORS issues during development.
+
+Alternatively, you can create a setupProxy.js file in the src folder for more advanced proxy configuration:
+
+```javascript
+const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');
+
+module.exports = function(app) {
+  app.use(
+    '/api',
+    createProxyMiddleware({
+      target: 'http://localhost:5000',
+      changeOrigin: true,
+    })
+  );
+};
+```
+
+Note: You'll need to install http-proxy-middleware if using setupProxy.js:
+```zsh
+npm install --save-dev http-proxy-middleware
+```
+
