Primary LanguageJavaScript

This project is live at https://successdbms.netlify.app/ Below is a the instruction for a MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack application with server.js and app.js that builds up the lost and found management system

# Lost and found management system Application

Welcome to our MERN stack application! This application is built using MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js.

## Project Structure

- `server.js`: This file contains the server-side logic using Node.js and Express.js. It handles API requests, connects to the MongoDB database, and serves as the backend for the application.

- `app.js`: This is the entry point for the React frontend. It houses the client-side logic and components, providing the user interface for the application.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- Node.js and npm: Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your machine.

### Installation

1. Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-mern-app.git
   cd your-mern-app
  1. Install dependencies for both the server and client: 
    cd server
npm install
cd ../client
npm install

Running the Application

  1. Start the server:

    cd server
node server.js

  2. In a separate terminal, start the client:

    cd client

The application should now be running on http://localhost:3000.
