DontBeFake

DontBeFake, is a MERN-stack web-app for schedule planning, with a little added spice. One can create a group or join existing ones

Documentation:

Make sure you have Node installed.

For developers:

npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap
npm install mongodb express cors dotenv
npm install bootstrap react-router-dom
npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled
npm install @mui/material @mui/styled-engine-sc styled-components
npm install sha1

For quick-installation: Make sure you have the latest version of node installed and are using Visual Studio Code as hosting platform. To host the website locally, navigate through DontBeFake/FrontEnd and type in the terminal:

npm install

This will create a node-modules package that houses many dependencies used in the program. Next, we must start the "BackEnd" part of our server. Create a new terminal and navigate to DontBeFake/FrontEnd/src/server and run the following terminal command:

node server.js

Successful startup should look like:

Server is running on port: 5000
Successfully connected to MongoDB.

To host the website on a local web-browser, go back to the original terminal and run:

npm start

You are now all set to run DontBeFake! To start, head over to the login page by clicking on the top-right avatar.

Frequent Problems:

Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

This means your node version is too recent, within the terminal type:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider (linux)
$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--openssl-legacy-provider" (windows powershell) 

Cannot connect to MongoDB: If you're on mac, then try turning off AirPlay, it uses the same port as our database. If that doesn't work try changing internet. For some reason, UCLA-WIFI does not work with our program.
