• Node.js (v14 or later)
• MongoDB (local installation or MongoDB Atlas)
• npm or yarn

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd backend

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a .env file based on .env.example:

   cp .env.example .env

4. Update .env with your MongoDB connection string:

   MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/resource-stack
   PORT=5000
   NODE_ENV=development
   CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:5173

5. Start the backend server:

   npm run dev

   The server will run on http://localhost:5000

1. Navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd frontend

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

   The application will be available at http://localhost:5173

• AddResourceForm: Form to add new resources
• FeedbackModal: Modal for adding feedback before deletion

Backend (.env)

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/resource-stack
PORT=5000
NODE_ENV=development
CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:5173

Frontend (vite.config.js)

• API proxy is configured to forward requests to http://localhost:5000

1. Add Resource: Click "Add New Resource", fill in title and content, and click "Add Resource"
2. Edit Resource: Click "Edit" on any resource card to modify its content
3. Check Resource: Click the checkbox to mark a resource as completed
4. Remove Resource: Click "Remove" to delete a resource. A modal will open for feedback
5. Add Feedback: (Optional) Type feedback or notes before confirming deletion

cd frontend
npm run build

This creates an optimized build in dist/ directory.

Set NODE_ENV=production and ensure MongoDB is properly configured for production use.

• Ensure MongoDB is running locally or check your connection string
• For MongoDB Atlas, use the full connection string with credentials

• Check that frontend URL matches CORS_ORIGIN in backend .env
• Ensure both servers are running on the correct ports

• Verify backend server is running on port 5000
• Check network tab in browser DevTools for error details
