🚀 Simple Deployment Guide

Local Development (Default)

Just run the app normally - it uses serviceAccountKey.json for Firebase:

# Backend
cd Backend
npm start

# Frontend  
cd Frontend
npm run dev

Deployment Setup

1. Prepare Backend for Deployment

cd Backend
npm run setup-deploy

This will:

  • Update your .env file with Firebase credentials from serviceAccountKey.json
  • Set NODE_ENV=production

2. Update URLs for Production

Backend .env: Change MONGO_URI to your production database:

MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://user:password@cluster.mongodb.net/genimeds

Frontend .env: Change VITE_API_BASE_URL to your deployed backend:

VITE_API_BASE_URL=https://your-backend-url.com

3. Deploy

  • Backend: Deploy with your updated .env file
  • Frontend: Deploy with your updated .env file

4. Reset for Local Development

When you want to go back to local development:

cd Backend
npm run setup-local

This resets everything back to use the service account file locally.

That's It!

  • Local: Uses serviceAccountKey.json (no setup needed)
  • Deploy: Run npm run setup-deploy, update URLs, deploy
  • Back to Local: Run npm run setup-local

Single .env file, works everywhere! 🎉
