Fullstack Mern Project

Jobify is a fullstack app that helps users efficiently manage their job search by organizing applications, tracking statuses, and monitoring progress in one place

🛠 Tech Stack

Frontend: React, React Router, Axios Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB (with Mongoose) Dev Tools: Vite, Nodemon, Postman, concurrently

## Getting Started

### 1. Clone the repo

```bash
git https://github.com/goodylove/jobify-app.git
cd jobify-app

2. Install dependencies

Backend:

npm install

Frontend:

cd client
npm install

3. Setup environment variables

Create a .env file in the root folder:

PORT=5100
MONGO_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string

💻 Running the App

From the root directory, run:

npm run dev

This will start both the frontend and backend concurrently using concurrently.

Make sure your package.json scripts look like this:

"scripts": {
  "client": "cd client  &&  npm run dev",
  "server": "nodemon server",
  "dev": "concurrently --kill-others-on-fail \"npm run server\" \"npm run client\""
}

API Routes (Sample)

• GET /api/users
• POST /api/auth/login
• GET /api/jobs

Testing

You can test backend routes using Postman or Thunder Client.

Notes

• Backend runs on http://localhost:5100
• Frontend (React) is served via Vite on http://localhost:5173
• The frontend uses a proxy to call /api routes and forward them to the backend.
