E-Voting System

This system has the following tech stack:

React and React Native interface with Laravel through APIs. The endpoints are to be specified.

Setup

Important: Client and Server have the best chance of working if they have the same domain.

If the server is hosted, i.e. php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0, then the client must be served with the same IP address as well.

As such, the entries SESSION_DOMAIN and SANCTUM_STATEFUL_DOMAINS in server/.env must point to the IP address or domain name of the client.

Copy and edit the .env.example file to .env
Check and update dependencies by running composer update
composer install
php artisan key:generate
Make sure to have a mysql connection. If you are using a virtualhost, run a mysql server
php artisan migrate
npm run dev or npm run build
php artisan serve
The database name is "comelec_database"

php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0

On Linux, other ports may not be able to be forwarded, so try this instead

sudo php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port=80

The mobile portion of this application is handled with Expo.

Source files are located in the app/ folder. Expo Router is a file-based routing system, so its structure must be followed.

Download the Expo app on your phone
Run npm i -D
Host the server first. When the server is hosted, copy and paste the URL to the extra/API_URL entry in the mobile/app.json file.
Run npm run start or npm run android to develop
- Note: You may want to connect your android device first. Try with the QR Code, IP address, or directly connecting through USB and doing npm run android.

Try connecting through tunnel instead of LAN. Note: It may be slower to connect, so it is not recommended to use. See this StackOverflow question
