🚀 JobConnect - Automated Vercel Deployment Setup

This guide provides automated scripts to set up your JobConnect application on Vercel with all required environment variables.

📋 Quick Setup Options

Option 1: PowerShell Script (Recommended for Windows)

# Run this command in PowerShell (as Administrator)
.\setup-vercel-env.ps1

Option 2: Node.js Script (Cross-platform)

# Run this command in your terminal
node setup-vercel-env.js

🔧 What These Scripts Do

  1. Install Vercel CLI (if not already installed)
  2. Authenticate with Vercel (opens browser for login)
  3. Set Environment Variables:
    • MONGODB_URI - MongoDB Atlas connection
    • JWT_SECRET - Secure authentication token
    • JWT_EXPIRE - Token expiration time
    • NODE_ENV - Production environment
    • CLIENT_URL - Frontend URL
    • API_BASE_URL - Backend API URL
    • PORT - Server port
  4. Trigger Production Deployment
  5. Provide Status Updates

🎯 Expected Results

After running the script:

  • ✅ All environment variables configured in Vercel
  • ✅ Production deployment triggered automatically
  • ✅ Application live at: https://jobcon-six.vercel.app
  • ✅ Full functionality: authentication, job management, database connection

🔍 Manual Verification

If you prefer to verify manually:

  1. Go to Vercel Dashboard
  2. Select your jobcon-six project
  3. Navigate to Settings → Environment Variables
  4. Verify all variables are present
  5. Go to Deployments and trigger a redeploy if needed

🆘 Troubleshooting

Script Fails to Run

  • Ensure you have Node.js installed
  • Run PowerShell as Administrator
  • Check internet connection

Authentication Issues

  • Make sure you're logged into the correct Vercel account
  • Try vercel logout then run the script again

Environment Variables Not Set

  • Manually add them in Vercel Dashboard
  • Use the values from the .env file in this directory

Deployment Still Shows 404

  • Wait 2-3 minutes for deployment to complete
  • Check Vercel deployment logs for errors
  • Verify MongoDB Atlas connection string is correct

📞 Support

If you encounter issues:

  1. Check the Vercel deployment logs
  2. Verify all environment variables are set correctly
  3. Ensure MongoDB Atlas cluster is accessible
  4. Contact support with specific error messages

🎉 Your JobConnect application should be fully functional after running these scripts!
