drinksapHe is a project developed during the Software Engineering course. The core functionality of this project is to monitor the pH level of drinking water in various water coolers in the Computer Centre 2 of IIIT Allahabad.

“DrinkSapHe©” aims to improve the efficiency of water cooler maintenance process, starting with water coolers of CC3, and perhaps later expanding to the other water coolers of the campus of IIIT-Allahabad. Real-time reporting of water quality levels will reduce the time it takes to regularly check the quality manually. The in-built reporting feature makes it easier for students to report problems to the maintenance team.

Open git bash and navigate to your preferred directory.

git clone https://github.com/sanskar-p/Sem4-SE-Project.git
cd Sem4-SE-Project

Create a second terminal instance and navigate to the above directory.

cd server
npm install
npm start

cd client
npm install
npm start

If your default browser does not launch automatically, open a browser tab and navigate to localhost:3000. The Backend API will be running at localhost:8080.

Create another terminal instance and navigate to the server directory. Now, to initialise the database collection, run the following command:

npm run initDrinksaphe

Next, you're going to have to generate an admin user for yourself.

npm run createAdmin

This command will generate admin credentials in your database. Now you can login using these credentials. The admin user has full access to all functionalities of the app, ranging from creating new users to setting the alert interval.

Setup is complete! (Yay?)
