Project Overview

CODE:EXO provides a secure, responsive web interface that enables the client’s team to manage, collaborate on, and deliver the specific technology project outlined in their guidelines. The platform emphasizes:

• Compliance with the client’s security and data‑handling policies.
• Scalability to accommodate growing workloads.
• Usability for both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Key Features

• Dashboard – Central view of project status, milestones, and metrics.
• Task Management – Create, assign, and track tasks with customizable workflows.
• Document Repository – Secure storage and versioning of project artefacts.
• Real‑time Collaboration – Inline comments and live updates for team members.
• Reporting – Exportable reports that align with the client’s compliance requirements.

Technology Stack

• Front‑end: React (or Vue/Angular), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Back‑end: Node.js (Express)
• Database: PostgreSQL (or MySQL)
• Authentication: OAuth2 / OpenID Connect with JWT
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
• Hosting: Cloudflare and managed platform (GitHub Pages)
• Containerisation: Docker (for development and production)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (>= 18) or the appropriate runtime for the back‑end language.
• Docker (optional, for local sandboxing).
• Database instance (local PostgreSQL/MySQL or remote).

Installation

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/sumanjangili/codeexo-webrepo.git
cd codeexo-webrepo

Install dependencies (using npm)

npm install

Copy environment template and fill in required values

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env → set DB connection string, JWT secret, etc.

• Running Locally Start the database (if using Docker Compose)

docker compose up -d db

Launch the back‑end API

npm run dev:api   # Adjust script name as needed

Launch the front‑end development server

npm run dev:web   # Typically starts Vite/Next/CRA on http://localhost:3000

Open the URL shown in the terminal to explore the platform.

Development Workflow

1. Branching – Create a feature branch:

git checkout -b feature/<short-name>

2. Implement – Follow the client’s guidelines for naming, validation, and security.
3. Test – Run unit/integration tests (see the Testing section).
4. Lint – Ensure code quality with the configured linter ('npm run lint').
5. Commit – Write clear commit messages; optionally follow Conventional Commits.
6. Pull Request – Open a PR against 'main'; reviewers will verify compliance with the client’s standards.

Testing

• Unit Tests – Jest (JavaScript/TypeScript).
• Integration Tests – Supertest (API) or Cypress (end‑to‑end). Run the full suite:

npm test          # or npm run test:ci

All tests must pass before merging.

Deployment

The project uses a CI/CD pipeline that automatically:

1. Builds the front‑end assets.
2. Runs lint and test suites.
3. Deploys the back‑end to the chosen cloud environment.
4. Publishes the front‑end to the static hosting endpoint. Configuration files (.github/workflows/*.yml, Dockerfile, etc.) contain the exact steps.

Contributing

We appreciate contributions that improve the platform while respecting the client’s guidelines.

1. Fork the repository.
2. Create a feature or bug‑fix branch.
3. Follow the Development Workflow above.
4. Submit a Pull Request with a clear description of the change and any relevant tickets. Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for detailed style guides and review expectations.
