This project is a simple CRM integration application built using the MERN stack, with SQLite for the backend and React for the frontend. The application allows users to add customer information, view it in a grid, and simulate pushing data to a CRM system.

• Backend: Node.js with Express.js and SQLite
• Frontend: React (without using React Hooks)

• Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your machine.
• SQLite installed (or use a pre-built database file).

1. Navigate to the Backend Directory

   Change to the AssignmentTwo directory.

2. Install Dependencies

   Run npm install to install the required packages: express, sqlite3, and cors.

3. Create and Set Up the Database

   Create an index.js file to define the backend logic, including database setup, API endpoints, and server configuration.

4. Start the Backend Server

   Run node index.js to start the backend server.

1. Create React Application

   Inside the AssignmentTwo folder, create a new React application by running npx create-react-app client, then navigate into the client directory.

2. Install Dependencies

   If needed for older browsers, install the Fetch API polyfill with npm install whatwg-fetch.

3. Create React Components

   Define the components CustomerForm and CustomerGrid in the src folder to handle form submission and display customer data, respectively.

4. Update the Main App Component

   Modify App.js to include the CustomerForm and CustomerGrid components, managing state updates and rendering the components.

5. Add CSS Styling

   Apply CSS styles by creating or updating the App.css file in the src folder to enhance the visual appearance of the application.

1. Start the Frontend Development Server

   In the client directory, run npm start to start the React development server.

2. Verify the Application

   Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to see the React application in action. Ensure the backend server is also running to handle API requests.

To deploy the application on Netlify, build the frontend application with npm run build and follow Netlify’s deployment instructions to host the static files.

• This project does not use React Hooks; it relies on class components and lifecycle methods.
• Ensure the backend server is running and accessible to the frontend application for API calls to work.
