Project Brief Description:

Project Name: Web Scraper Application

Author: Pramod K Singh

Version: 1.0

Overview: This project is a web scraping application built with React for the client-side and Node.js/Express for the server-side. It allows users to input a URL, scrape the text content of the specified webpage, and display the scraped text content. The application utilizes Axios for making HTTP requests, Cheerio for parsing HTML on the server-side, and React state management for handling user input and displaying the scraped text content on the client-side.

Getting Started

To get started with this application, follow the steps below:

Client Setup:

Navigate to the client directory:
```
cd client
```
Create a new React application:
```
npx create-react-app .
```
Install required dependencies:
```
npm install axios cheerio
```
Build the React application:
```
npm run build
```

Server Setup:

Navigate to the server directory:
```
cd ../server
```
Initialize a new Node.js project:
```
npm init -y
```
Install required dependencies:

npm install express axios cheerio
```
Start the Node.js/Express server:

```

Running the Application

Once the server is running, you can access the application in your web browser at http://localhost:5000.

Notes
