Finddit is a React Native developed app using the expo development package. To get the app up and running, the user needs to start the client, backend and ngrok.

• An Android/IOS device with the Expo Go app installed.
• Ensure the device is connected to the same internet as the laptop.
• A machine with the cloned Finddit repository.
• Install project dependencies using npm i command.

To run the client, run the following command from src/client dir

expo start

The user will see a QR code which can be scanned by the users device to launch the app inside of the Expo Go app.

To run the backend, run the following command from the src/backend dir

npm run start

Since our services are run locally, to create a bridge between the frontend and the backend, we expose the localhost backend through a NGROK tunnel.

To use NGROK, install NGROK on the machine and run the following command (ensure this is run after the backend is running):

ngrok http 3000

The URL returned by this command needs to be updated under src/client/constants.js

You're all set to use the app. Hope you Finddit!
