How to run a project on localhost

Dependencies recovery

Since node_modules are not in repository , you need to recover node_module for both client and server. You can do it with npm i in root and client/csletmelearn folders

To start server

Start with npm run start:dev

To start client

Open client folder cd client and then vite project directory cd csletmelearn. Start it using vite or use npm run dev

Environment variable that you have to provide

• PORT : port where server will locate
• MONGO_URL : url for your mongoDB cluster
• JWT_ACCESS_SECRET : secret word for your access token
• JWT_REFRESH_SECRET : secret word for your refresh token
• SMTP_HOST : host for node mailer (for example its "smtp.gmail.com" if using gmail)
• SMTP_PORT : port for node mailre (find it in imap setting in your account)
• SMTP_USER : email that will send activation links
• SMTP_PASSWORD : password for this email (if using gmail better turn on 2FA and use app password)
• API_URL : full link for your server (for example http://localhost:5000)
• CLIENT_URL : full link for your client
• CLOUDINARY_API_KEY : key that you can find in cloudinary dashboard
• CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET : secret string that you can find in cloudinary dashboard
