Project Name: CodeForge

(project in progress)

Description:

CodeForge is a web application designed to streamline the management and execution of computer science labs, particularly for Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) courses in colleges, with a focus on institutions like IITs. It aims to empower instructors to create and assign DSA problems, track student progress, and analyze their performance.

Technologies:

• MERN Stack:
  • MongoDB: NoSQL database for flexible data storage (server-side)
  • Express.js: Web framework for building the backend API (server-side)
  • React.js: JavaScript library for creating the user interface (client-side)
  • Node.js: JavaScript runtime environment for server-side execution

Frontend Repository:

(https://github.com/ayush07agrawal/CodeForge_FrontEnd)

Backend Repository:

https://github.com/sauravatgithub-web/CodeForge_server

Installation:

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm (or yarn) installed on your system.
• A MongoDB database instance running locally or on a cloud provider.

Frontend Installation (refer to https://github.com/ayush07agrawal/CodeForge_FrontEnd for specific instructions):

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ayush07agrawal/CodeForge_FrontEnd.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd CodeForge_FrontEnd

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install  # or yarn install

Backend Installation:

1. Clone the server-side repository from the provided link.
2. Install dependencies within the server-side repository.
3. Configure the database connection details in the server-side code.

Running the Application:

Frontend (refer to https://github.com/ayush07agrawal/CodeForge_FrontEnd for specific instructions):

1. Start the development server:

   npm start  # or yarn start

2. The application will typically run on http://localhost:3000 (adjust the port if necessary).

Backend

1. Start the backend server in the server-side repository according to its documentation.

Usage:

• Once both frontend and backend are running, instructors and students can access the application to create/assign problems, submit solutions, and view performance metrics.

Site Images
