- Fullstack Application -

Description

This repository contains a fullstack application with separate frontend and backend directories. The project uses the following technologies:

• Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB (or any other database)
• Frontend: React (or any other frontend framework)

The application is designed to be modular, scalable, and follows best practices for both frontend and backend development.

Backend

The backend is built using Node.js and Express. It follows a modular architecture, with the logic separated into controllers, routes, services, and models. The backend communicates with a MongoDB database and exposes a RESTful API.

For more details about the backend structure and setup, check the backend README.

Frontend

The frontend is built using React. It follows a component-based architecture and communicates with the backend API to fetch and display data.

For more details about the frontend structure and setup, check the frontend README.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm or yarn

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/foucsi/fullstack-app.git

2. Navigate to the backend folder and install dependencies:

   cd fullstack-app/backend
   npm install

3. Navigate to the frontend folder and install dependencies:

   cd ../frontend
   npm install

Running the Application

1. Backend: To start the backend server, navigate to the backend directory and run:

   cd backend
   npm start

2. Frontend: To start the frontend development server, navigate to the frontend directory and run:

   cd frontend
   npm start

3. The backend server runs on http://localhost:5000 by default, and the frontend on http://localhost:3000. The frontend will communicate with the backend using RESTful APIs.

Contributing to fullstack-app

We love your input! We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

• Reporting a bug
• Discussing the current state of the code
• Submitting a fix
• Proposing new features
• Becoming a maintainer

We Develop with Github

We use github to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.

We Use Github Flow, So All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests

Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase. We actively welcome your pull requests:

1. Fork the repo and create your branch from main.
2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
4. Ensure the test suite passes.
5. Make sure your code lints.
6. Issue that pull request!

Report bugs using Github's issues

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new issue; it's that easy!

Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code

Great Bug Reports tend to have:

• A quick summary and/or background
• Steps to reproduce
  • Be specific!
  • Give sample code if you can.
• What you expected would happen
• What actually happens
• Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)

People love thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding.

Use a Consistent Coding Style

• 2 spaces for indentation rather than tabs
• You can try running npm run lint for style unification
