DormCentral is a web application project for the UCLA student body. This web app serves as a utility for UCLA students to get more information about their dorm selection for the following year. Users can read and submit reviews, compare room types, and even post dorm parties on this website! In short, this project aims to be the one-stop site for anything dorm related.
To run DormCentral on your local computer, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the directory that you want to download the repository into. Then, type this into your terminal/command line:
git clone https://github.com/r-mallick/dorm-central.git
- Navigate to the project using the following command:
cd dorm-central
- Then run the follow the following command to install all the node dependencies:
npm install
- Finally, to run our web app simply run the following:
npm start
Now the website will be visible on http://localhost:3000. From there, you will be able to navigate all the features provided by DormCentral!
For the front end, we utilized React to build our user interface and MaterialUI's components libraries to aid us in styling the website. For the backend, we utilized Firebase, namely it's Cloud Firestore Database to store user reviews, parties, etc. In turn, Google's Firebase API allowed us to read and write to their backend servers.
