SCPMA is a lightweight, efficient mobile application demonstrating the integration of modern web technologies for cross-platform development. This project showcases:

• Frontend: React Native for building a responsive and native-like mobile interface
• Backend: Node.js with Express.js, creating a robust RESTful API
• Database: PostgreSQL for reliable and scalable data storage

The application allows users to manage a list of items, demonstrating basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations in a mobile environment.

• Node.js
• npm
• PostgreSQL
• For iOS development: macOS, Xcode

Note: Ensure PostgreSQL is installed and its service is running before proceeding.

1. Clone this repository

2. Navigate to the project root directory

3. Run the following code to install dependencies for both backend and frontend:

   cd backend && npm install && cd ../frontend && npm install && cd ..

   Alternatively, you can run these steps manually:

   # Install backend dependencies
   cd backend
   npm install
   cd ..
   
   # Install frontend dependencies
   cd frontend
   npm install
   cd ..

4. Run Script to start the project:

   ./start-project.sh

The script will automatically:

• Create the PostgreSQL database if it doesn't exist
• Start the backend server
• Launch the iOS app simulator

• backend/: Contains the Node.js backend project
• frontend/: Contains the React Native frontend project
• start-project.sh: Shell script to start both backend and frontend

• This project is currently set up for iOS development only.
• Ensure your PostgreSQL service is running before starting the application.
• To stop all processes, press Ctrl+C in the terminal where you ran the start script.
