About the Project

vevIT started as a gag-joke when two recently elected people in FikIT could not agree. During that same summer Erik Persson decided to turn the website into a reality with vevIT-v1. However since he did not know anything about web development, it did not turn out very well... Three years later, on the 16:th of september 2025 vevIT version 4 was deployed as a stable realisation of the idea, finally letting people book vev in the Sandlådan.

Getting started

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/erikpersson0884/vevit-v4

2. Install dependencies

   cd vevit-v4
   
   npm run install
   

3. Set up a development database

   cd server 
   
   docker run --name vevit-v4 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secretpassword -e POSTGRES_USER=myuser -e POSTGRES_DB=mydb -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
   
   npx prisma migrate dev
   
   npx prisma db push

4. Set environmental variables

   In ./client/.env

   VITE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3001/api
   

   In ./server/.env

   DATABASE_URL=postgresql://myuser:secretpassword@localhost:5432/mydb?schema=public
   
   JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
   

Usage

After installation, you simply run the application with a single command from root.

npm run dev

This runs concurrently:

• Database container (vevit-v4)
• Backend server (server) in development mode
• Frontend (client) in development mode

You can also run each part individually:

npm run server       # Starts backend only
npm run client       # Starts frontend only
npm run start-database   # Start DB only
npm run stop-database    # Stop DB only

For production:

npm run build        # Build backend and frontend
cd server
npm start            # Run production server

Acknowledgements

Without the help of a lot of wonderful people, this project would not have been possible! Therefore, there are a few people I would like to acknowledge for their help and support along the way.

First of all, a huge thanks to Gustav 'Goose' Asplund and Oscar 'Space' Eriksson for their enormous help and, not to mention, their encouragement to make this a real website.

Next, I would like to thank Oscar 'Saxen' Palm for a huge amount of time spent helping me learn, debug, and deploy this and various other pet projects of mine.

A big thanks also goes out to my wonderful girlfriend Hanna 'Neinei' Adenholm for her guidance on the design of the site, as well as supporting me along the way.

Finally, a big thanks to all the people who encouraged and helped me along the way, always keeping me motivated to finish this project!🩵
