Firearms E-Commerce Platform

This is a simple firearms e-commerce platform with a backend API using Node.js, Express.js, and MySQL, and a frontend built using Vue.js and TailwindCSS.

How to Run the Project

1. Clone the Repository

First, clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/clicky4u/Firearms-E-Commerce-Platform

2. Set Up Backend

After cloning, navigate to the Backend directory and start the server:

cd Firearms-E-Commerce-Platform/Backend
node server.js

This will start the backend server on localhost:3000.

3. Set Up Frontend

Open a new terminal window or command prompt, navigate to the web1-dev1 folder, and run the frontend:

cd Firearms-E-Commerce-Platform/web1-dev1
npm run dev

This will start the Vue.js frontend on localhost:8080.

4. Database Setup

Make sure you have MySQL installed on your machine. Create a database named mydb and configure your connection settings in the .env file (if necessary).

5. Environment Variables

Ensure the .env file (located in the Backend folder) has the correct MySQL database credentials:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=root
DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword
DB_NAME=mydb

6. Testing the Application

Once both the backend and frontend are running, you can open your browser and visit the frontend at http://localhost:8080. The backend API can be accessed at http://localhost:3000.
