This is a full-stack React Native application with a separate backend API.

Getting Started

Test User Credentials:

1. CEO: - Email: ceo@test.com - Password: test123 - Role: CEO with full admin permissions
2. Manager: - Email: manager@test.com - Password: test123 - Role: Manager with read/write permissions
3. Staff: - Email: staff@test.com - Password: test123 - Role: Staff with read-only permissions

Note: Make sure you have completed the Set Up Your Environment guide before proceeding.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Install dependencies for both frontend and backend:

# Install all dependencies
npm run install:all

# OR install individually
npm run install:frontend
npm run install:backend

Step 2: Start the Development Servers

Start both the backend API and React Native Metro bundler:

# Start backend (from root)
npm run dev:backend

# Start frontend (from root)
npm run dev:frontend

Or you can run them individually:

# Frontend only
cd frontend && npm start

# Backend only  
cd backend && npm run dev

Step 3: Build and run your app

With the servers running, open a new terminal window/pane and use one of the following commands to build and run your Android or iOS app:

Android

# From frontend directory
cd frontend && npm run android

# OR using Yarn
cd frontend && yarn android

iOS

For iOS, remember to install CocoaPods dependencies (this only needs to be run on first clone or after updating native deps).

The first time you create a new project, run the Ruby bundler to install CocoaPods itself:

bundle install

Then, and every time you update your native dependencies, run:

bundle exec pod install

For more information, please visit CocoaPods Getting Started guide.

# Using npm
npm run ios

# OR using Yarn
yarn ios

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in the Android Emulator, iOS Simulator, or your connected device.

This is one way to run your app — you can also build it directly from Android Studio or Xcode.

Step 3: Modify your app

Now that you have successfully run the app, let's make changes!

Open App.tsx in your text editor of choice and make some changes. When you save, your app will automatically update and reflect these changes — this is powered by Fast Refresh.

When you want to forcefully reload, for example to reset the state of your app, you can perform a full reload:

• Android: Press the R key twice or select "Reload" from the Dev Menu, accessed via Ctrl + M (Windows/Linux) or Cmd ⌘ + M (macOS).
• iOS: Press R in iOS Simulator.

Congratulations! 🎉

You've successfully run and modified your React Native App. 🥳
