Request Feature
This is a side project I've been working on. A full stack expense spliting app - splitwise clone made using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React & Nodejs), specially designed to split group expense between friends. With this application, you can add your expense details and get an whole expense analytics feature - Group Balance, Monthly amount spend, Catagory wise expense spending graph etc... Jump right off the Live App and start adding your expenses or download the entire Source code and run it on your server. This project is something I've been working on in my free time so I cannot be sure that everything will work out correctly. But I'll appreciate you if can report any issue.
- Create user groups and track group expense
- Keep track of shared expenses and settle your corresponding balances in a convenient and personalized way.
- Get Analytical graphs to understand your expenditure trend
- Multiple user registration.
- Authentication using JSON web token (JWT)
This project was created using the following technologies.
- React JS
- Redux (for managing and centralizing application state)
- Axios (for making api calls)
- Material UI (for User Interface)
- Chart.js (To display various analytics graphs)
- React-chartjs-2
- Gravitar (for user profile picture)
- Express
- Mongoose
- JWT (For authentication)
- bcryptjs (for data encryption)
MongoDB (MongoDB Atlas)
In order to run this project locally, simply fork and clone the repository or download as zip and unzip on your machine.
- Open the project in your prefered code editor.
- Go to terminal -> New terminal (If you are using VS code)
- Split your terminal into two (run the client on one terminal and the server on the other terminal)
In the first terminal
$ cd client
$ npm install (to install client-side dependencies)
$ npm start (to start the client)
For setting up backend
- cd create a .env file in the root of your directory.
- Supply the following credentials
PORT=3001
MONGODB_URI=
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=
Please follow This tutorial to create your mongoDB connection url, which you'll use as your MONGODB_URI
Provide some random key in ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET or you could generate one using node enter the below command in the terminal to genrate a random secret key
node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(256).toString('base64'));"
In the second terminal (*in the project root directory (back-end))
$ npm install (to install server-side dependencies)
& npm start (to start the server)
I intend to keep adding more features to this application, so if you like it, please give it a star, that will encourage me to to keep improving the project.
