Eventify - ESE19 Project

Eventify is an event platform app, which was created for the ESE 2019 course. It consists of a frontend, which is an Ionic application and a backend, which is managed in Firebase.

Project setup

• Install Node.js and NPM (NPM is installed automatically with latest versions of Node.js). You can verify if you have both by running node -v and npm -v in terminal
• Install Angular CLI globally (npm install -g @angular/cli)
• Install Ionic globally (npm install -g ionic)
• Clone this repository or download it directly as a zip file.
• Go to the frontend folder (cd <project-path>/frontend) and then install all dependencies (npm install)
• Now you're good to go and can start the project by writing ionic serve --lab in the terminal (Need to be in the frontend folder again).

Project structure

• The project contains one main folder: frontend. The frontend part runs independently from the backend, firebase, but to be able to use some functions, there needs to be a connection to the firebase project.
• As stated, the backend is managed in firebase, but don't worry, we've already implemented the connection between the frontend and firebase.
• The frontend folder contains an Ionic project, which uses AngularFire to request data from the backend and processes those to make changes if required and display it on the UI.
• The database folder in frontend is the core of the connection between our app and firebase.
