✨ Live demo : https://jecplacementmanagement.netlify.app

This is a web application built with React and Javascript to ease and organize the process of placement drives for students of Jyothi Engineering College. The build tool used is Vite. AntDesign and TailwindCSS are used for the component library and styling, respectively. The server is built using Nodejs. This repository contains the source code for the app.

Before running this project, make sure you have the following software installed on your system:

• Node.js (v18.14.2 or higher)
• pnpm (v8.2.0 or higher)

NB: All the mentioned steps must be done within the main branch only. To get started with the app, you will need to clone this repository and install the dependencies. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/emvk09/react-placementmanagement.git
cd react-placementmanagement

In the client directory, install client dependencies,

pnpm install

In the server directory, install server dependencies,

pnpm install

In client directory, create a file .env.local

From your Firebase console, create a new project and add Firebase to your webapp in the project settings. Collect your web app's Firebase configuration and add the following in the file.

VITE_APIKEY=*******************
VITE_AUTHDOMAIN=***************
VITE_PROJECTID=****************
VITE_STORAGEBUCKET=************
VITE_MESSAGINGSENDERID=********
VITE_APPID=********************
VITE_SERVER_DOMAIN=http://localhost:3000

In server directory, create a file .env

Make sure you signup for a Cloudinary account and Mongodb Atlas. Collect the secret keys and urls, and add the following in the file.

MONGODB_URL=*******************
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=*********
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=************
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=*********
JWT_SECRET=********************
CLIENT_DOMAIN=http://localhost:5173

JWT_SECRET can be given as a random string of any length. e.g., JWT_SECRET=hjimwmwmo-2m0sls_2ksksskwd

Once you have installed the dependencies and set the environment variables, you can run the server by running the following command from the server directory:

pnpm dev

You can then run the client by running the following command from the client directory:

pnpm run dev

This will start the client and open the app in your default browser. This may take 2-3 minutes.

NB: Make sure the server runs in PORT: 3000 and client runs in http://localhost:5173 to avoid any CORS errors

If you want to build the app for production, you can run the following command from the client directory:

pnpm run build

This will generate a production-ready build of the app in the dist directory.
