Client Setup

The client-side of the CodeSangam platform is built using React. To run the client locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ContriHUB/CodeSangam.git

2. Navigate to the client folder:

   cd client

3. Create a .env file for the client and add the following environment variables:

   REACT_APP_BASE_URL=<your_base_url>
   PORT=<your_port>

4. Install dependencies:

   npm install

5. Start the client:

   npm start

   The client will now be running on http://localhost:<PORT>/<REACT_APP_BASE_URL>.

Server Setup

The server-side of CodeSangam is responsible for handling API requests, user authentication, and other backend functionality. To run the server locally, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the server folder:

   cd server

2. Create a .env file for the server with the following environment variables:

   PORT=<port_number>
   
   # OAuth
   CLIENT_ID=<your_client_id>
   CLIENT_SECRET=<your_client_secret>
   REDIRECT_URL=<your_redirect_url>
   
   # Configs
   BASE_URL=/codesangam
   REGISTRATION_DEADLINE=<registration_deadline>
   DECLARE_RESULT=<result_declaration_date>
   
   # Secrets
   SESSION_SECRET=<your_session_secret>
   DB_URL=<your_database_url>
   CONTRI_DB_URL=<db connection url>

   • PORT: The port number where the server will run.
   • OAuth variables (CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, REDIRECT_URL): Used for authentication with OAuth.
   • BASE_URL: The base path for API routes.
   • REGISTRATION_DEADLINE and DECLARE_RESULT: Dates for event registration deadline and result declaration.
   • SESSION_SECRET: Used for securing user sessions.
   • DB_URL: Database URL for the event.
   • CONTRI_DB_URL: Connection string for the internal database.

3. Install dependencies:

   make

4. Run the server:

   make run

The server will now be running on http://localhost:<PORT>.
