A full-stack job tracking application using the MERN stack

Jobify - Job Tracking App

• Developed a comprehensive job tracking web app with user authentication via JWT tokens and HTTP-only cookies. Utilized React Query for efficient data caching and included pagination for seamless navigation. Implemented a RESTful API for backend communication.
• Enabled user account management, including profile picture upload, job modification, and sorting functions. Implemented data visualization with interactive charts. Deployed securely on Render for cloud-based access.
• Technologies Used: MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js, Vite, Render

Complete App

Jobify

Usage

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/Rashed112/Jobify-MERN-Project.git

2. Install dependencies

   cd jobify
   npm run setup-production-app 

3. Set up environment variables: To run the application locally or deploy it elsewhere, you need to set up the following environment variables in a .env file at the root of the project. Here's how to fill in each variable:

   • NODE_ENV: Set the environment to either development or production.
   • PORT: Define the port number on which the server will run. Here default is 5100.
   • MONGO_URL: Provide the connection string to your MongoDB database. Replace <username>, <password>, and <dbname> with your MongoDB credentials.
   • JWT_SECRET: Choose a secret key for JSON Web Token (JWT) encryption.
   • JWT_EXPIRES_IN: Set the expiration time for JWT tokens.
   • CLOUD_NAME: Your cloud storage provider's name (e.g., Cloudinary).
   • CLOUD_API_KEY: Your cloud storage API key.
   • CLOUD_API_SECRET: Your cloud storage API secret.

   Here's an example .env file:

   NODE_ENV=development
   PORT=5100
   MONGO_URL=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.a3mftk7.mongodb.net/<dbname>?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster0
   JWT_SECRET=your_secret_key
   JWT_EXPIRES_IN=1d
   CLOUD_NAME=your_cloud_name
   CLOUD_API_KEY=your_cloud_api_key
   CLOUD_API_SECRET=your_cloud_api_secret
   

4. Run the application:

   node server

5. Access the application in your browser at http://localhost:5100.
