⚙️ Project Setup

🔙 Backend (Express)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <your-repo-url> 📦
   cd <your-project-directory> 🗂️

2. Install all dependencies:

   Copy code
   pnpm install   # or npm install
   Set up environment variables: In the root of the project directory, create a .env file and add the following:
   
   bash
   Copy code
   PORT=5000
   DATABASE_URL=<your-xata-database-url>
   Run the backend server:
   
   bash
   Copy code
   pnpm run dev   # or npm run dev
   The backend server will start at http://localhost:5000.
   

3. 💽 Database (Xata):

    Install the Xata CLI:
   
    bash
    Copy code
    pnpm add -g @xata.io/cli   # or npm install -g @xata.io/cli
    Login to Xata:
    
    bash
    Copy code
    xata auth login
    Set up your database:
    
    bash
    Copy code
    xata init
    Push your schema to Xata:
    
    bash
    Copy code
    xata push

4. 🖥️ Frontend (React):

    Navigate to the frontend directory:
   
    bash
    Copy code
    cd ../frontend
    Install frontend dependencies:
    
    bash
    Copy code
    pnpm install   # or npm install
    Set up environment variables: In the frontend directory, create a .env file and add your backend URL:
    
    bash
    Copy code
    REACT_APP_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:5000
    Run the React app:
    
    bash
    Copy code
    pnpm run start   # or npm run start
    This will start the React app on http://localhost:3000.
   

5. 🏃 Running the Project:

    Start the Backend: Navigate to the backend folder and run:
    
    bash
    Copy code
    pnpm run dev   # or npm run dev
    Start the Frontend: Navigate to the frontend folder and run:
    
    bash
    Copy code
    pnpm run start   # or npm run start
    Now both the frontend and backend should be running, and you can access the application at http://localhost:3000.
