This project is a web-based procurement system designed to manage requisitions, tenders, purchase orders, and other related workflows.

• Frontend: SvelteKit, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Go (planned)
• Database: SQLite (planned)

• Basic project structure set up.
• Initial UI for layout, navigation, and stubs for core modules (requisitions, tenders) implemented.
• Placeholder icons are in use due to temporary issues with an icon library.

• Continue development of core modules.
• Integrate with backend services.
• Implement user authentication.
• Refine UI and add more features as per the project checklist.

This section will guide you through setting up and running the Procurement System application locally.

Ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js (which includes npm) for the frontend.
• Go for the backend.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/gTahidi/Procure.git
   cd procurement

2. Set up the Frontend: Navigate to the frontend directory and install the necessary Node.js dependencies:

   cd frontend
   npm install
   cd ..

3. Set up the Backend: Navigate to the backend directory and ensure Go modules are tidy :

   cd backend
   go mod tidy
   cd ..

To run the application, you'll need to start both the backend and frontend services.

If this is your first time running the application or if you need to reset the database:

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd backend

2. Run the database initialization script:

   go run db_init.go

3. Navigate back to the project root:

   cd ..

   This command will execute the db_init.go file, which should set up the procurement.db SQLite database in the backend directory.

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd backend

2. Run the Go backend server:

   go run main.go

   This command assumes your main server logic is in main.go.
3. The backend server should now be running (typically on port 8080). You should see log output in the terminal indicating it has started, e.g., "Backend server starting on port :8080...".

1. In a new terminal window or tab, navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd frontend

2. Start the SvelteKit development server:

   npm run dev

3. The frontend application will typically be available at http://localhost:5173 (or another port specified by SvelteKit).
