Installation

First, Clone this repo. Both frontend and backend need to be installed seperately.

For frontend run the following commands.

cd frontend
npm install
npm run build

It is important that frontend is installed first and a build directory is created since the backend serves this build folder.

For backend run the following commands.

cd backend
npm install

Starting the Development Server

Run the following command in backend directory to start the development server at PORT=8000 by default.

cd backend
npm run dev

This will start the development server at http://localhost:8000. If build folder doen't exist you will see an error at the baseURL i.e. /. Create the build folder to fix this issue.

Contributing to Frontend

The frontend of this project is made with Docusaurus. To start the dev server, run the following commands in frontend directory:

cd frontend
npm start

This will start the frontend dev server on http://localhost:3000.

After you have done with your contribution, create the production build by running the following commands:

cd frontend
npm run build
npm run server

The last command will server the build folder on http://localhost:3000.

Make sure your contributions are reflected properly in this build.

Contributing to Backend

The backend is made with NodeJS, Express and MongoDB. Run the following commands to open the dev server.

cd backend
npm run dev

Head to http://localhost:8000, if a build folder is present in frontend directory then you will see the landing page of the project.
