Environment Setup Guide

This guide provides the necessary environment variables required to run the Survey App.

Backend Environment Variables

Create a .env file inside the Backend directory and add the following:

PORT=3000  # Backend Port  
MONGO_URL=your_mongodb_connection_string  # MongoDB connection URL  
CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:5173  # CORS origin (Frontend URL)
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret  # JWT Secret key

Frontend Environment Variables

Create a .env file inside the Frontend directory and add the following:

VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000/api  # Backend API base URL

Setting Up Your Port

If running the backend on port 3000, the environment variable VITE_API_BASE_URL in the frontend .env file should be set to:

VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000/api

Final Steps

  1. Create .env files in both Backend and Frontend directories.
  2. Fill in the necessary credentials (e.g., MONGO_URL, JWT_SECRET).
  3. Restart the servers after setting up the environment variables.

Now you're ready to run your Survey App! 🚀
