DSMNRU Academic Archive (PYQ + Syllabus)

A small static frontend to browse and download Previous Year Question Papers (PYQs) and syllabi for DSMNRU students.

This repository is a static site (no build step). The public UI reads content from Firestore at runtime and stores small client-side state in localStorage for features like bookmarks and tools.

Quick links

• Public UI: index.html
• Admin UI: admin.html (Firebase email/password sign-in)
• Client JS: script.js (data loading, rendering, bookmarks, student tools)
• Admin JS: admin.js (auth + CRUD)
• Styles: styles.css

Local development

Open index.html directly in a browser for a quick preview, or run a tiny static server from the repository root (PowerShell examples):

# From the repo root
python -m http.server 8000
# or (Node)
npx serve .

Data sources

• Firestore: public content is stored in two collections named pyqs and syllabus. The client reads those collections using the Firebase compat SDK. The Firebase config is embedded in index.html / script.js / admin.js.
• localStorage: used for small client-side state with keys such as:
  • dsmnruBookmarks — bookmarked file URLs
  • dsmnruStudyPlanner — study planner entries
  • dsmnruAttendance — attendance records
  • dsmnruCgpaLast — last CGPA calculation

Note: The project does NOT use data.json. Any references to data.json in older documentation are outdated and can be ignored.

Admin / editing content

• Use admin.html to sign in (Firebase email/password). After signing in you can add, edit, and delete documents in the pyqs and syllabus collections. admin.js uses add(), doc(id).set(..., {merge:true}), and doc(id).delete().
