A bunch of changes I had to do to run it

First, thanks for the program.

I'm not a programmer, so I use ChatGPT to help me figure things out.
I eventually figured out how to get most of it running except the sign-up page:

1. /frontend/.eslintrc.cjs:

module.exports = {
root: true,
env: {
browser: true,
es2020: true,
},
extends: [
'eslint:recommended',
'plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended',
'plugin:react-hooks/recommended',
],
ignorePatterns: ['dist', '.eslintrc.js'],
parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser',
plugins: ['@typescript-eslint', 'react-refresh'],
rules: {
'@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars': 'off', // Disabling the rule for no unused variables
},
};

2. /frontend/tsconfig.json:

• Changed moduleResolution to "node", and switched a few things to false:

{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ES2020",
"useDefineForClassFields": true,
"lib": ["ES2020", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],
"module": "ESNext",
"skipLibCheck": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,

/* Bundler mode */
"moduleResolution": "node",
"allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
"resolveJsonModule": true,
"isolatedModules": true,
"noEmit": true,
"jsx": "react-jsx",

`/* Linting */`
"strict": true,
"noUnusedLocals": false,
"noUnusedParameters": false,
"noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true

},
"include": ["src"],
"references": [{ "path": "./tsconfig.node.json" }]
}

3. /backend/.env file created with:

MongoDB Configuration

MONGODB_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/chatbotDB # this is the mongoDB I set up locally.

Server configuration

PORT=5000

You can add other variables as needed, for example, if the application requires JWT secret for authentication or API keys for external services.

JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_here

4. In order to run, I did:

• In the backend folder: npm install -> npm run build -> npm start
• In the frontend folder: npm install -> npm run build->npm run dev`

Hi @sm18lr88, thank you for creating the issue. As the project is still in progress, I will review the issue you raised, and if necessary, I will address it or merge it. In the future, feel free to contribute by forking the project, creating a pull request, and I will review your code.

Thank you!

Thanks. I'm sorry I haven't learned how to fork and pull yet.
I'll work on it.
