Instructions on how to run

Backend

1. You should have nodejs and npm installed.

2. Clone the repo, go to backend folder.

3. Install all the dependencies with npm i

4. Create a .env.backend file in /backend/config folder with the following information:

   PORT=3000 // Your desired port where server should listen
   MONGOURI="mongodb://localhost:27017/hatarashift" // either use the local MongoDB instance or use from atlas
   
   JWT_SECRET="YOURSECRET" // Your JWT Secret

5. After configuring environment variables, simply run the server by typing npm run dev, or if you want to build the server, then type

   npm run build
   npm run start
   

   This will compile the typescript files into javascript and produce the output at ./dist folder

   Now you can test the APIs with any API client tools such as Postman, Insomnia, etc.

Frontend

1. Go to /frontend folder and install the dependencies with npm i

2. To run the frontend, simply type npm run dev or if you want to build the frontend for production, then type

   npm run build
   

3. To run the production build, you can use a simple file server like serve Go to ./dist folder and then:

   npm i -g serve
   serve -s -l 5173
