Technology Used

Built-in Syllabus Templates

After seeding, the project includes 10 templates:

Step 1: Open project folder

cd "ai based syllabus breakdown planner"

Step 2: Install backend dependencies

npm install

Step 3: Install frontend dependencies

cd client && npm install && cd ..

Step 4: Create environment file

cp .env.example .env

Step 5: Configure environment variables

Update .env with:

PORT=5000

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/syllabus-planner

JWT_SECRET=your_strong_random_secret

FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000

NODE_ENV=development

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key

YOUTUBE_API_KEY=your_youtube_api_key

GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key

SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com

SMTP_PORT=587

[email protected]

SMTP_PASS=your_gmail_app_password

OPENAI_API_KEY, YOUTUBE_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY, and SMTP values are optional depending on the features required. SMTP is required only for forgot-password email OTP.

Step 6: Start MongoDB

Make sure MongoDB is running and reachable at:

mongodb://localhost:27017/syllabus-planner

Step 7: Seed demo data

npm run seed

The seed command populates the database with demo users, templates, syllabi, plans, resources, and bookmarks. It wipes existing records before inserting seed data.

Step 8: Start application

Recommended single command:

npm run dev

Or run separately:

npm run server

cd client && npm run dev

Password for all seeded accounts:

password123
