Getting Started

To get this application running on your local machine, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

Node.js (Download and install from nodejs.org)
npm (Comes installed with Node.js)

Installation

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/thibaudbrg/SurveyJS-Node.js.git
cd SurveyJS

Install Backend Dependencies

Navigate to the backend directory and install the necessary packages.
```
cd backend
npm install
```
Start the Backend Server

Still in the backend directory, start the server.
```
npm start
```
The server will typically run on port 5001, but you can configure this in the server settings.
Install Frontend Dependencies

Open a new terminal window. Navigate to the frontend directory from the root of the project and install the necessary packages.
```
cd frontend
npm install
```
Start the Frontend Application

Within the frontend directory, start the React application.
```
npm start
```
This will launch the application in your browser. If it doesn't automatically open, you can access it by visiting http://localhost:3000.

Running Both Frontend and Backend Concurrently

For convenience, you can run both the frontend and backend concurrently using the concurrently package. This has been set up in the frontend's package.json file under the script dev.

cd frontend
npm run dev
