Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+ installed
• Rust toolchain installed
• MongoDB running locally or connection URI

Backend Setup

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

cd backend

2. Create a .env file with your configuration:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/smartbidpro
JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key-change-this-in-production
ROCKET_PORT=8000
ROCKET_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0

3. Build and run the backend:

cargo build
cargo run

The Rocket server will start on http://localhost:8000 z

Frontend Setup

1. Navigate to the project root:

cd ..

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Run the development server:

npm run dev

The Next.js app will start on http://localhost:3000

Development

To make changes:

1. Backend: Edit files in backend/src/, rebuild with cargo build
2. Frontend: Edit files in app/ or components/, changes hot-reload automatically
3. Populating Users: Run /scripts/create-test-user.js using node to seed users into your database
