PROJECT ID: PID4

Project name : Travel guide application

The objective of this project is to develop a smart travel guide mobile application for Sri Lanka.

First clone this project directory.

https://github.com/indunil-19/Smart-travel-guide-app

Then Go to the project Directory cd directory/project

The system has main 3 components:

1. Back End server

   To configure server first goto server directory cd directory/server Then run npm install Then use nodemon or node to start server.Nodemon is recommended

   nodemon app # If nodemon is installed
   node app.js # otherwise
   

   Then console will display 'app is working on port 5000'

2. Admin portal

   To configure admin portal first goto adminPortal directory cd directory/adminPortal

   Then run npm install

   After run npm start to run react app

   Now visit http://localhost:3000/ and confirm that admin portal is running.

3. Mobile app

   To configure mobile app goto smart_travel_guide directory

   cd directory/smart_travel_guide directory 
   

   Then run

    expo install  or npm install 
   

   To connect with back end you need to install ngrok for exposes local server ports to the Internet.(https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngrok)

   npm install ngrok

   Then run ngrok http 5000

   

   Copy the port forwarding url and update Localhost in config.js line 2 in dirctory/Smart-travel-guide-app/smart_travel_guide/src/config

   This maps mobile app http requests to back end server port 5000

   Then run expo start for more instructions refer (https://docs.expo.dev/get-started/create-a-new-app/#starting-the-development-server)

   You can see the mobile app running on your android device or emulater
