Technical jargon

Front-end

Create Vite App with React

Tailwind.css
Material UI
Gemini API for Chatbot

Back-end

Back-end is written using Express.js

Authentication is done with JWTs.

Development

The code uses a locally hosted MySQL database with placeholder credentials defined in the .env files. Hence, you would need to define your own credentials.

Server .env file
- APP_SECRET for JWTs to work
- EMAIL_JS_PUBLIC_KEY, EMAIL_JS_SERVICE_ID, EMAIL_JS_TEMPLATE_ID for email notifications to work (obtain by creating an account with EmailJS
Note that there is a monthly quota of 200 emails per month on the free plan
Client .env file
- REACT_APP_GEMINI_API_KEY for chatbot

This code is not deployed to a live website

To run it, you would have to install MySQL and provide the placeholder credentials. Alternatively, you can slightly modify the index.js file to use an alternative database provider like SQLite.
