Wealth Watch

Wealth Watch is a MERN stack application with separate client and server folders. The backend is built with MongoDB and Express, while the frontend is developed using Vite, React, TypeScript, Material-UI (MUI), Recharts, and regression.

Project Structure

.
├── client/
└── server/

Backend (server/)

The backend folder contains the Express server and MongoDB configuration.

Environment Variables

Make sure to create a .env file in the server/ directory with the following content:

MONGODB_URL="mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster>.li0sele.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster0"
PORT=1337

Replace <username>, <password>, and <cluster> with your MongoDB credentials.

Installation and Setup

1. Navigate to the server/ directory:

   cd server

2. Install the dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the server:

   npm run dev

The server will start on the port specified in the .env file (default is 1337).

Frontend (client/)

The frontend folder contains the Vite React TypeScript application.

Installation and Setup

1. Navigate to the client/ directory:

   cd client

2. Install the dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

The client application will start on the default Vite development server port.

Additional Information

• MongoDB: Ensure your MongoDB cluster is up and running, and the connection string in the .env file is correct.
• Vite: Vite is used for faster development with React and TypeScript. The project uses various libraries like Material-UI for UI components, Recharts for charts, and regression for statistical analysis.
• Scripts: Common scripts for both client/ and server/ include npm install for installing dependencies and npm run dev for starting the development server.

Running Both Client and Server

To run both the client and server concurrently, you can use tools like concurrently or create separate terminal sessions:

1. Open a terminal and start the server:

   cd server
   npm run dev

2. Open another terminal and start the client:

   cd client
   npm run dev

Now, both the server and client will be running, and you can interact with your Wealth-Watch application.
