Kolegia is a platform where users can post their lost items and find them. Users can also sell their items by posting them.
- Users can post their lost items and other users can help them find it.
- Users can also sell something, by posting it on the platform.
- If a user requires something, they can post a requirement for that.
- Directly chat with the seller of the product for buying any item.
- If someone wants to raise a hand on a lost item, they can easily do that.
- Light/Dark Mode support.
To set up Kolegia for development, you need to install the following dependencies:
Follow these steps to set up the development environment:
Step 1: Install Node.js from the Node.js official website.
During the developement process, I used node version v14.17.4. You can check your node version by running the following command:
node -v
Step 2: Install MongoDB from the MongoDB official website.
My MongoDB shell version v5.0.2-rc0
Step 3: Install MongoDB Compass and Postman (Optional)
You may want to install these two tools to help you with the development process. Using MongoDB Compass, you can have a look at your database as it gives a nice overview of your database. Postman can be used to test API endpoints.
You'll have to create a .env
file for environment variables with the variables listed here
