## Getting Started

To get started with this project, follow these steps:

### Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   cd client
   npm install
   
   # Install backend dependencies
   cd ../server
   npm install

Configuration

1. Configure the database:

   • Create a MySQL database and import the provided SQL schema located in the server/database directory.

   • Update the database configuration in server/config/db.config.js with your database credentials:

     module.exports = {
       HOST: "your-database-host",
       USER: "your-database-username",
       PASSWORD: "your-database-password",
       DB: "your-database-name",
     };

2. Configure environment variables:

   Create a .env file in the server directory and define the following variables:

   PORT=3001   # Port for the Node.js server
   JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key

Usage

1. Start the backend server:

   cd server
   npm start

   The server will start on the port you defined in the .env file.

2. Start the frontend development server:

   cd client
   npm start

   The React app will run on port 3000 by default.
