# Arohana
This is a basic MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack application.

```
## Prerequisites
- Node.js (>= 18)
- npm or yarn
- MongoDB
## Setup
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone
cd
```
2. **Install server dependencies:**
```bash
npm install # or yarn install in root directory
```
3. **Install client dependencies:**
```bash
cd client
npm install # or yarn install
cd ..
```
4. **Set up MongoDB:**
- Ensure MongoDB is running.
- Create a `.env` file in the `server` directory with your MongoDB connection string:
```
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://:@:/
PORT=5000 #or whatever port you wish to use
```
Replace ``, ``, ``, ``, and `` with your MongoDB credentials.
Add any other server side environment variables to this .env file.
5. **Set up client environment variables:**
- Create a `.env.local` file in the `client` directory.
- Add the server URL:
```
VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5000 #or whatever url your server is running on
```
## Running the Application
1. **Start the server:**
```bash
cd server
npm run start #or node index.js, or yarn start
```
The server will run on the port specified in your `.env` file (e.g., `http://localhost:5000`).
2. **Start the client:**
Open a new terminal and run:
```bash
cd client
npm run dev # or yarn dev
```
The client will run on a development server (usually `http://localhost:5173`).
3. **Access the application:**
Open your web browser and navigate to the client's URL (e.g., `http://localhost:5173`).
## Development
- **Server:**
- Modify files in the `server/` directory.
- The server will need to be restarted to reflect changes (or use `nodemon`).
- **Client:**
- Modify files in the `client/src/` directory.
- Vite will automatically reload the browser on file changes.
## Build for Production
1. **Build the client:**
```bash
cd client
npm run build # or yarn build
```
This will create a `dist` folder in the `client` directory containing the production build.
2. **Serve the production build:**
- You can serve the `client/dist` folder using a static file server (e.g., `serve`, `nginx`, or Express.js).
- For example, using `serve`:
```bash
npm install -g serve
serve -s client/dist
```
- Or, to serve the client from the express server, add the following to your server/index.js file.
```javascript
const path = require('path');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
//...other server setup...
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../client/dist')));
app.get('*', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '../client/dist/index.html'));
});
//...server listen...
```
Then run the server as normal.
- Ensure your server side environment variables are set correctly for production.
- Ensure the client side environment variables are set correctly for production, rebuilding if necessary.
## Dependencies
- **Server:**
- Express.js
- MongoDB (Mongoose)
- dotenv
- cors (if needed)
- **Client:**
- React
- Vite
- Any other necessary frontend libraries.
## Notes
- This is a basic setup. You can expand it with more features, authentication, and other functionalities.
- Remember to secure your API endpoints and handle errors appropriately.
- Consider using environment variables for sensitive data and configuration.
- Add more specific instructions based on the actual functionality of your application.
