Getting Started

To get started with the App:

1. Download Node.js onto your system.
2. Clone the repository.
3. Go into the two directories and install the dependencies. Start with the client using the commands below.

cd client

After going inside the directory, make install the dependencies with the following command.

npm install

Now run the front-end-client with the following command.

npm start

Next, open a new terminal and go into the Server director and do the same. First, to go into the directory, use the following commands

cd ..
cd server

Install the dependencies as before.

npm install

Now, setup your database. You will need PostgreSQL and need to set it on your local device. After you are done, create a .env file and put the database's URL inside it. More information about the URL can be found here. Put the URL (and also the required port) in the following format.

# To run the back end server on port 3001 of your localhost.
PORT=3001

# Here you will paste the database URL
DATABASE_URL=

After that, migrate the database to the required version with

npx migrate dev

Before you start the application, do note that you will need to create the categories inside the Category table. The front end UI has no way to add these categories :) You can even use Prisma Studio to do this. Start it with

npx prisma migrate dev

Once you are done, run the following command to start the back end server.

npm start

With both the client and server running on two terminals, go to localhost:3000. There create an account and sign.

Some bugs left to resolve

1. Creating product does not add description and categories.
2. Notifications are lagging behind.
3. Sign Up page shows blank notification on success.
