1. api (Backend)

To develop the backend of the application I used Nodejs and Expressjs framework to develop the REST apis.

For database I used MongoDB.

I used cloudinary for file storage.(To store images in cloud.)

I created 2 routes.

Route 1: http://localhost:4000/api/v1/inventory/grocery/addItem This is a POST route that is used to add item into the database. It takes name, description, quantity and a image file as input from frontend form.

Route 2: http://localhost:4000/api/v1/inventory/grocery/all This is a GET route that is used to get all the items from the database and send it in json format to the frontend.

How to run the backend:

  1. Perform npm i command inside the api folder which will download the node_modules folder for the api.

  2. Then inside the api repository type npm run dev (for development) or npm run start.

  3. Two endpoints: i. POST endoint: http://localhost:4000/api/v1/inventory/grocery/addItem

    ii. GET endpoint: http://localhost:4000/api/v1/inventory/grocery/all

2. client (Frontend)

To develop the frontend of the application I have used ReactJs for the frontend library and Tailwind CSS for styling.

How to run the frontend:

  1. Inside the client repository type npm i to downlaod the node_modules folder for the client.

  2. Inside the client repository type npm run dev.

  3. Frontend url: http://localhost:5173.
