La Galleria - Project Setup A brief description of the project.

Table of Contents Prerequisites Installation Running Locally API Troubleshooting Prerequisites Before you can run the project, make sure you have the following installed:

Node.js (Version >= 14.x) npm or Yarn MongoDB (for backend) or use a cloud-based MongoDB like MongoDB Atlas Optional Netlify CLI if you want to test Netlify Functions locally Installation

  1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/NathalieOwusu/la-galleria.git cd la-galleria

  2. Install the dependencies You'll need to install dependencies for both the frontend and backend:

Frontend (Client) dependencies: cd client npm install

Backend (Server) dependencies: cd ../server npm install

Running Locally

  1. Start the MongoDB Database (if using local MongoDB) If you have MongoDB installed locally, run: mongod

  2. Start the Backend Server In the backend (server) directory, run: npm start This will start the backend server, which should be running on http://localhost:8888.

If you’re using nodemon (recommended for development): nodemon server/server.js

  1. Start the Frontend Development Server In the frontend (client) directory, run: npm start This will start the frontend server, which should be running on http://localhost:8080.

  2. Accessing the App Once both servers are running, you can access the app in your browser at: http://localhost:8080

  3. Make sure the Proxy is working The frontend (running on localhost:8080) should be able to send API requests to the backend (running on localhost:8888). Ensure the API proxy in the Webpack config (or frontend fetch requests) is set up correctly.

API Available API Routes: POST /api/auth/signup Sign up a new user.

POST /api/auth/login Log in an existing user.

GET /api/artworks Fetch all artwork records.

Troubleshooting If you run into any issues while setting up or running the project, check the following: MongoDB Connection Issues

API Calls Not Working:

Ensure the frontend is correctly sending requests to the backend API. Verify that the proxy setup in Webpack works if your frontend is on a different port (e.g., 8080). Port Conflicts:

If localhost:8080 or localhost:8888 is already in use, change the port in the respective files (webpack config or server.js). Missing Dependencies:

If you see errors like Module not found, make sure you’ve run npm install in both the client and server directories.
