Tech Stack

The Krishi Seva platform is built using the following technologies:

• Frontend: React.js (modern, responsive UI)
• Backend: Node.js with Express (robust API handling)
• Database: Firebase
• Styling: Tailwind CSS (for elegant, responsive designs)
• Hosting: Vercel (fast, secure, and reliable deployment)

Installation and Development

To set up this project locally, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (v16 or later)
• npm or yarn package manager

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Nexusrex18/SIHn.git
   cd SIHn
   
   
   

Getting Started

1. Install all dependencies

npm install

2. Create a .env.local file in the server directory and add in the firebase config data to connect to firebase :

FIREBASE_API_KEY=xxx
FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=xxx
FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=xxx
FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=xxx
FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=xxx
FIREBASE_APP_ID=xxx

• Client-Side (if needed): If any of these variables are also needed on the client side, you'll need to duplicate them with the VITE_ prefix and place them in the .env file:

VITE_FIREBASE_API_KEY=xxx
VITE_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=xxx
VITE_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=xxx
VITE_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=xxx
VITE_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=xxx
VITE_FIREBASE_APP_ID=xxx

This way, your server-side environment variables remain secure, while the client-side variables are correctly exposed using Vite's import.meta.env method if needed. In Server-side make use of dotenv package and make sure to import config.js and use process.env.FIREBASE_* when needed.

Contact any of the maintainers for the contents of the .env.local file

Then, run in the client folder terminal:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
