A quiz site that can be used to create and host live quiz sessions

Click on this link to go to the repo for the original v1 of this project. It got complicated with React and CORS issues.

How to run it locally

Setup MariaDB and MongoDB

create the mariadb database using the mariadb-init.sql file

   mariadb -u username -p
   # create the database
   CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS quizify;
   exit

   mariadb -u username -p quizify < ./database-init/mariadb-init.sql

create the MongoDB database using the mongo-init.sql file
```
   mongosh < ./database-init/mongo-init.js
```

Install node dependencies
```
npm i
```

Create the local .env file

   NODE_ENV=development
   MONGO_URI=mongodb://mongodb:27017/quizify
   DB_PASSWORD=your_mongo_pass
   PORT=4000
   DB_HOST=::
   DB_PASSWORD=your_mariadb_pass
   DB_NAME=quizify
   DB_USER=your_mariadb_username
   JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret

Run the Server
```
   npm run dev
```

Open the website that is running on http://localhost:4000

   firefox http://localhost:4000 # for firefox users
   google-chrome-stable http://localhost:4000 # chrome users
   echo "any other browser (except maybe Brave) should be banned"

Collaborators

Due to the nature of this project (individual project to present as the final project to receive this BCA degree), I have to work on it alone. Do provide insights and suggestions, if any.

Developers Notes

Access the mariadb
```
      mariadb -u root -p
```
If you get an error that mariadb that stopped the server from accessing mariadb, even if the credentials and port number are correct, you should try to allow mariadb to be bound from ipv6
```
   sudo nvim /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf
   #replace `bind-address = 127.0.0.1` with `bind-address = ::`
   sudo systemctl restart mariadb.service
```
