Court-Procto-Repo

This repository contains the source code for the Court Proctor project, which includes both frontend and backend components.

Frontend

The frontend is built using React.js, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

Contents

• Components: Reusable UI elements that form the building blocks of the application.
• Pages: Different views or screens of the application, each corresponding to a specific route.
• Assets: Static files such as images, fonts, and stylesheets.
• Services: Functions that handle API calls and other data-fetching logic.

Running the Frontend

To run the frontend locally, follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies:
   Ensure you have Node.js installed. Navigate to the frontend directory and run:

   npm install

2. Start the Development Server:
   After the dependencies are installed, start the development server with:

   npm start

3. Access the Application:
   Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the application in action.

Backend

The backend is implemented using Node.js with the Express framework.

Contents

• Routes: Defines the API endpoints for the application.
• Controllers: Contains the logic for handling requests and responses.
• Models: Defines the data structures and interfaces with the database.
• Middleware: Functions that process requests before they reach the controllers.

Running the Backend

To run the backend locally, follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies:
   Ensure you have Node.js installed. Navigate to the backend directory and run:

   npm install

2. Set Environment Variables:
   Create a .env file in the backend directory and add the necessary environment variables (e.g., database connection strings, API keys).

3. Start the Server:
   After setting up the environment variables, start the server with:

   npm start

4. Access the API:
   The backend server will run on http://localhost:5000. You can test the API endpoints using tools like Postman.
