Sure! Here's a basic README.md file for your AI Disaster Management App (Disaster Guard) project. It covers setup instructions for both backend and frontend, and can be expanded as needed:

``

🌐 Disaster Guard - AI Disaster Management App

An AI-powered platform to report, monitor, and manage disaster-related data in real-time. This application consists of a Node.js + Express backend, a Vite + React frontend, and MongoDB for the database.

⚙️ Backend Setup

1. Navigate to backend folder

cd backend

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Add .env file

Create a .env file in the backend/ directory:

PORT=5000
NODE_ENV=development
MONGODB_URI=your-mongodb-uri-here

4. Run backend server

npm start

By default, the server runs on http://localhost:5000

---

💻 Frontend Setup

1. Navigate to frontend folder

cd ../frontend

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Add .env file (optional for API URL)

VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:5000/api

4. Start development server

npm run dev

5. Build for production

npm run build

This will create the dist/ folder, which will be used by the backend to serve the frontend in production.

---

🚀 Deployment (Full Stack)

Ensure your backend is set to serve static files in production:

// Inside backend/server.js
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../frontend/dist')));
  app.get('*', (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, '../frontend/dist', 'index.html'));
  });
}
