A comprehensive key management system with role-based access control, built with React frontend and Node.js backend.

• Role-based Access Control: Multiple user roles (Admin, Faculty, Operator, Responder, Security)
• QR Code Integration: Generate and scan QR codes for key access
• Real-time Updates: Socket.io integration for live updates
• Secure Authentication: JWT-based authentication with email verification
• Responsive Design: Mobile-first design with Tailwind CSS
• API Key Management: Comprehensive API key tracking and management

• Frontend: React + Vite + Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js + Express + MongoDB
• Deployment: Vercel (Frontend) + Custom Backend Deployment
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions with automated testing and deployment

• Node.js 18+
• MongoDB
• Git

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/gurramkarthiknetha/vnr-keys.git
   cd vnr-keys

2. Setup Backend

   cd backend
   npm install
   cp .env.example .env  # Create and configure environment variables
   npm run dev

3. Setup Frontend

   cd frontend
   npm install
   npm run dev

4. Access the application

   • Frontend: http://localhost:5173
   • Backend: http://localhost:3000

This project uses GitHub Actions for automated testing, building, and deployment.

• Automated Testing: Linting, building, and syntax checking
• Security Scanning: Dependency audits and secret detection
• Multi-platform Deployment: Vercel (frontend) + Render (backend)
• Dependency Updates: Automated weekly dependency updates
• Branch Protection: Required reviews and status checks
• Issue Tracking: Automatic issue creation for failed deployments
• Commit Tracking: Detailed commit information and issue references
• Deployment Monitoring: Success/failure tracking with notifications

1. Run the setup script

   ./scripts/setup-cicd.sh

2. Configure GitHub Secrets

   • VERCEL_TOKEN, VERCEL_ORG_ID, VERCEL_PROJECT_ID

3. Enable Branch Protection

   • Require status checks before merging
   • Require pull request reviews

For detailed setup instructions, see CI_CD_SETUP.md.

The application is automatically deployed when changes are pushed to the main branch:

• Frontend: Deployed to Vercel
• Backend: Deployed to Render

1. Frontend (Vercel)

   cd frontend
   vercel --prod

2. Backend (Render)

   • Push to main branch triggers automatic deployment
   • Or use Render dashboard for manual deployment

• JWT-based authentication
• Role-based access control
• Rate limiting
• CORS protection
• Helmet.js security headers
• Input validation and sanitization
• Secure password hashing (bcrypt)

• GitHub Actions workflow monitoring
• Vercel deployment analytics
• Render service monitoring
• Application error tracking

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a feature branch (git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -m 'Add amazing feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/amazing-feature)
5. Open a Pull Request

1. Create feature branch

   git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name

2. Make changes and test locally

   # Test frontend
   cd frontend && npm run lint && npm run build
   
   # Test backend
   cd backend && node -c index.js

3. Push and create PR

   • Use the provided PR templates for consistent documentation
   • Include issue references in commit messages (Closes #123)
   • CI/CD pipeline will automatically run tests
   • Ensure all checks pass before merging
