• Post creation and management
• Friend list management
• User profile management

Architecture

The Witter project uses a client-server architecture, with a React-based frontend and a Node.js-based backend.

Project Structure

The project is divided into two main directories: client and server. The client directory contains the React frontend code, while the server directory contains the Node.js backend code.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, Redux, React Router
• Backend: Node.js, Express.js, Mongoose
• Database: MongoDB

Main Components

• client/src/main.jsx: The main entry point of the React application
• server/index.js: The main entry point of the Node.js application
• client/src/components/FlexBetween.jsx: A reusable UI component
• server/controllers/posts.js: Handles post-related operations

Installation

To install the project, run npm install in the root directory, then npm run dev to start the development server.

Configuration

Environment variables are stored in a .env file in the root directory.

High-Level Design

The application is divided into two main components: the client and the server.

Project Structure

The project is divided into two main directories: client and server.

Execution Flow

The execution flow involves the following steps:

1. User interacts with the UI
2. UI sends a request to the backend
3. Backend processes the request and interacts with the database
4. Backend sends a response to the UI
5. UI updates based on the response

Data Flow

The data flow involves the following steps:

1. User inputs data into the UI
2. UI sends the data to the backend
3. Backend processes the data and stores it in the database
4. Backend retrieves data from the database
5. Backend sends the data to the UI

Module Relationships

The main modules are:

• client/src/main.jsx: The main entry point of the React application
• server/index.js: The main entry point of the Node.js application
• client/src/components/FlexBetween.jsx: A reusable UI component
• server/controllers/posts.js: Handles post-related operations
