Linkodcode

Full‑stack demo that lets users read a feed of image‑backed posts and submit new ones. It is split into an Express backend (API + static images) and a React + Vite frontend.

What’s Inside

• Authenticated posts experience (register/login with JWT).
• Posts API backed by JSON files (no external DB).
• React SPA for login, feed, single post view, submit post, and about.
• Bundled image set; new posts get a random image automatically.

Repository Layout

• backend/ – Express server, auth + posts routes, JSON storage, static assets.
• frontend/ – React (TypeScript) SPA, routing, and API clients.

Quick Start

1. Clone and enter the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/shemaryahuz/Linkodcode
   cd Linkodcode

2. Start the backend (requires backend/.env with JWT_SECRET):

   cd backend
   npm install
   npm start

3. Start the frontend (expects backend at http://localhost:3000):

   cd frontend
   npm install
   npm run dev

Environments

• Backend: JWT_SECRET (required), PORT optional (defaults to 3000).
• Frontend: no custom env required for local dev; uses the backend URL above.

Useful Scripts

• Backend: npm start
• Frontend: npm run dev, npm run build, npm run preview, npm run lint
