Users can participate in live auctions and place bids in real-time.\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThese instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- Node.js \u003e= 18.12.1\n- NPM \u003e= 8.19.2\n- MongoDB\n\n## Installation\n\n  1. Clone the repository\n\n    $ git clone https://github.com/OverloadedSam/auctioneer.git\n\n  2. Go to `client` and `server` directory one by one and install dependencies with command shown at 3rd step.\n\n    $ cd client/\n    // And\n    $ cd server/\n\n\n  3. Install the dependencies\n\n    $ npm install\n\n## Configure App\n\nYou have to set the environment variables of your configuration before starting the app.\n\n### 1. Environment variables for `client`\n\nCreate a `.env` file at `auctioneer/client/` directory and set the following environment variables starting with prefix `VITE_`\n\n    VITE_BASE_API_URL={api_url_of_the_backend} // e.g: http://localhost:8000/api\n    VITE_SOCKET_URL={url_of_backend} // e.g: ws:localhost:8000\n\n### 2. Environment variables for `server`\n\nCreate a `.env` file at `auctioneer/server/` directory and set the following environment variables.\n\n    PORT=8000 // You can set any port number that is available but make sure to correctly include it in client environment variables.\n    BASE_URL_PREFIX={api_prefix} // e.g: `/api`\n    DB_NAME=Auctioneer\n    DB_CONNECTION_STRING={your_mongodb_connection_uri}\n    SALT=10 // 10 is the recommended salt here.\n    SECRET={your_jwt_secret} // e.g: shhhh123.\n    ORIGIN={where_client_is_running} // e.g: http://localhost:3000\n    DEFAULT_AVATAR={cloud_url_for_an_image} // Cloudinary is recommended.\n    CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME={your_cloudinary_cloud_name} // Shown in cloudinary dashboard.\n    CLOUDINARY_API_KEY={your_cloudinary_api_key} // Shown in cloudinary dashboard.\n    CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET={your_cloudinary_api_secret} // Shown in cloudinary dashboard.\n\n\n## Running The Project\n### Start Server (Node API)\n\n    $ cd auctioneer/server // go to server directory\n    $ npm run dev // run backend with hot reloading.\n    // or you can run the backend with standard command\n    $ node server.js\n\n### Start Client (React app [VITE])\n\n    $ cd auctioneer/client // go to client directory\n    $ npm run dev\n\n## Deployment\n\nThe app can be deployed to a hosting platform such as Render or Heroku.\n\n## Built With\n\n- [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/)\n- [Express](https://expressjs.com/)\n- [React](https://reactjs.org/)\n- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)\n- [Socket.io](https://socket.io/)\n- [cloudinary.com](https://cloudinary.com/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Foverloadedsam%2Fauctioneer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Foverloadedsam%2Fauctioneer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Foverloadedsam%2Fauctioneer/lists"}
