Feedback Management System

The Feedback Management System is a web application that allows users to submit feedback and view all feedback entries. The project is built with a Node.js backend using Express and TypeScript and a React frontend using TypeScript. The backend manages the feedback entries, and the frontend provides a user interface for submitting and viewing feedback.

Cloning Instructions

git clone https://github.com/exclusiveabhi/feedback-system.git

Setup Instructions

Backend Setup

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd feedback-management-system/backend

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Install CORS type definitions:

   npm install @types/cors --save-dev

4. Start the server:

   For development, you can use ts-node to run TypeScript directly:

   npx ts-node src/index.ts

   Alternatively, you can compile the TypeScript code to JavaScript and run it with Node.js:

   npx tsc
   node dist/index.js

5. Verify the server is running:

   Open your browser or use a tool like Postman to navigate to http://localhost:3000/feedback. You should see an empty array (since there are no feedback entries initially).

Frontend Setup

1. Navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd ../frontend

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the React application:

   npm start

4. Verify the application is running:

   Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3001. You should see the feedback form and a list (which will be empty initially).

Backend Code Details

• src/index.ts: Entry point of the server.
• src/controllers/feedback.controller.ts: Handles API routes.
• src/services/feedback.service.ts: Contains business logic.
• src/models/feedback.model.ts: Defines the Feedback model.

Frontend Code Details

• src/components/FeedbackForm.tsx: Form for submitting feedback.
• src/components/FeedbackList.tsx: Displays a list of feedbacks.
• src/App.tsx: Main application component.

Additional Notes

• The backend uses an in-memory data structure to store feedback entries.
• The frontend uses Axios for API communication.
• The backend uses CORS middleware to allow cross-origin requests from the frontend.
