Kanrisha is a freelance management platform. In which a manager can create projects and tasks, assign freelancers to tasks, put weight on tasks, see the progress of each task and project, and comment on tasks. The freelancer can see the projects and tasks that they participate in, they can put the progress of their tasks and comment on the tasks.
Two of our members have worked as independent, and they had to gather with their bosses to check their progress in the project assigned, losing time and money.
The other one used to work as freelancer and most of the time she didn't have a direct contact with her project manager, she would only receive requirements and do her job.
Covid-19 has made our lifestyle virtual, communication problems and internet connection are now in our daily business life. Therefore having meetings to check how freelancers are doing could be tiring mostly if an executive has thousands of freelancers.
Kanrisha has born from the necessity to manage a big amount of freelancers, without having lots of intermediaries o doing a lot of paperwork to know how they are doing in their tasks.

We have two directories to run the platform:
Backend: responsible for managing and manipulating the database and Frontend: that is the visual part of the platform, which takes data from the backend to display dynamic content.
To run the program you will need node and npm installed globally on your machine. Also Mongodb to store the database.
To clone the repository, you must type the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/shincap8/Kanrisha.git
You need to open two consoles, one to run the backend and one to run the frontend. In one console enter the backend directory and with the other console enter the frontend directory, in both consoles you must execute the command:
$ npm install
This command will download the packages necessary to run the program.
Enter the backend directory and type the following command:
$ npm run dev
Enter the frontend directory and type the following command:
$ npm run start
Make sure that the browser you use is Google Chrome.
For the use of the platform we assume that the database is already created.
For this reason, before interacting with the platform and with the 3001 server of the backend on, you must create the manager and freelancer users as follows:
Use an app to test a REST API like Postman or Insomnia.
To create a manager you need to make a POST request to the route:
http://localhost:3001/signUp/manager
{
"name": "managerName",
"email": "managerEmail@gmail.com",
"password": "password"
}
To create a freelancer you need to make a POST request to the route:
http://localhost:3001/signUp/freelancer
{
"name": "freelancerName",
"email": "freelancerEmail@gmail.com",
"password": "password",
"profession": "FreelancerProfession"
}
