Technologies Used

• Frontend:
  • Reac
  • React Router DOM
  • Material-UI (for UI components)
  • Axios (for API calls)
  • TypeScript
• Backend:
  • Node.js (with Express.js)
  • MongoDB

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm (v6 or higher)
• MongoDB server running on mongodb://localhost:27017

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd jemaw-react

2. Install all dependencies (frontend and backend):

npm install
npm install express mongodb bcrypt jsonwebtoken multer cors concurrently --save-dev

3. Ensure your MongoDB server is running.

4. Start both the backend server and the frontend development server with one command:

npm run dev

The frontend application should open in your browser at http://localhost:3000, communicating with the backend server running on http://localhost:3001.

Note: The backend server configuration in server.js includes a hardcoded path for static files (../public). This assumes your public folder is one level up from the jemaw-react directory. You might need to adjust this path based on your project's structure for serving static assets correctly.

Available Scripts

• npm run dev: Starts both the backend server and the frontend development server concurrently.
• npm start: Runs only the frontend app in development mode.
• npm build: Builds the frontend app for production.
