prerequisite

1. MongoDB
2. nodejs
3. IDE for android development

components

1. android src (Client side code)

2. node js server contains(imp):

      - Files : drop files here which can be accessed by Clients
      - Video : drop videos here which can be streamed by clients
      - app.js (to run the server)
      - routes.js : wiring between client and server
   

3. Database : for saving the logs (system generated)

howToRunIt

1. Download Project. In Node JS server , Do npm install. it will install mongoDb and nodejs in system.

      - I have not uploaded all node modules, only config folder it there. taking config folder as reference, we can create more modules
      - once the node modules get installed, copy the ![config](https://github.com/vimaltiwari2612/VirtualClassroom/tree/master/node%20JS%20Server/node_modules/config) config folder and paste it inside node_module's folder created due t npm install.
   

2. don't install the apk in your phone directly, because it has localhost settings. open android client in android studio,

      -change the folder name from "Android Client" to "Virtual Classroom", because the package structure expects "virtualclassroom" as name.
      - Have use my own PC ip4 address with port 8080, so change the IPv4 address to yours one. run "ipconfig" on windows cmd, for linux, i don't know the commnand :P
      - create APK after updating ipv4 changes. Install it on phone now.
   

3. MAKE SURE TO CONNECT YOUR PHONE AND SERVER WITH A COMMON NETWORK OR HOTSPOT

4. run below commands in cmd:

@echo Off cd
cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin mongod.exe --dbpath "Your Path upto Database folder of this app"

5. open another cmd and run :

@echo Off cd
cd "Your Path upto server folder of this app" node app.js

      - If you get error like throw err, "MODULE NOT FOUND", while running the node server, do below activites.
                - go to route.js and check the require modules. 
                - for each require module, you should be having a file with same name inside node_module/config
                - if some file is not present, just comment it's "require" statement in route.js

6. open this android app and use it. HAVE FUN!!!
