🚀 Quick Start

Follow these steps to get InsureAI up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Node.js: ^18.x or higher (LTS recommended)
• npm: Node Package Manager, usually bundled with Node.js.
• Git: For cloning the repository.

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/Vishok-2006/InsureAI.git
   cd InsureAI

2. Install Backend dependencies Navigate to the backend directory and install its dependencies.

   cd backend
   npm install
   cd .. # Go back to root

3. Install Frontend dependencies Navigate to the react-app directory and install its dependencies.

   cd react-app
   npm install
   cd .. # Go back to root

4. Environment setup Create .env files for both the backend and react-app by copying the example.

   cp .env.example backend/.env # Create .env for backend
   cp .env.example react-app/.env # Create .env for frontend (if applicable)

   Configure your environment variables in backend/.env and react-app/.env (if applicable).

   Example .env configuration (for backend, adjust as needed for frontend):

   # Backend Port
   PORT=5000 
   
   # Database Configuration
   DATABASE_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/insureai_db # Example for MongoDB
   # Or for PostgreSQL: DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/insureai_db
   
   # JWT Secret for authentication
   JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_key
   
   # API Keys for external services (e.g., AI models)
   AI_SERVICE_API_KEY=your_ai_service_api_key
   

5. Database setup (if applicable) If your backend requires database migrations or initial seeding, run the respective commands from the backend directory.

   # Example for database migrations (e.g., Mongoose for MongoDB or Sequelize for SQL)
   # cd backend
   # npm run migrate
   # npm run seed

6. Start the Backend Development Server From the root directory, you can use the back.sh script, or navigate to backend and start it manually.

   ./back.sh
   # or manually:
   # cd backend
   # npm start # Or 'npm run dev' if a dev script exists

   The backend server will typically run on http://localhost:5000 (or the port defined in backend/.env).

7. Start the Frontend Development Server Navigate to the react-app directory and start the frontend development server.

   cd react-app
   npm start # Or 'npm run dev' if a dev script exists

   The frontend application will typically open in your browser at http://localhost:3000.

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables

The application uses environment variables for sensitive information and configuration settings. Create .env files in both backend/ and react-app/ directories based on the .env.example file.

| Variable | Description | Default | Required |

|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------|------------|----------|

| PORT | Port for the backend server to listen on. | 5000 | Yes |

| DATABASE_URL | Connection string for the database. | N/A | Yes |

| JWT_SECRET | Secret key for signing JSON Web Tokens. | N/A | Yes |

| AI_SERVICE_API_KEY | API key for connecting to external AI services. | N/A | Yes |

| REACT_APP_API_URL | URL of the backend API for the frontend to connect to. | http://localhost:5000 | Yes |

Configuration Files

• .env: Local environment configuration files (one for backend, one for frontend).
• backend/package.json: Manages backend dependencies and scripts.
• react-app/package.json: Manages frontend dependencies and scripts.
• openspec/: Contains OpenAPI or Swagger specifications for the API, detailing available endpoints, request/response formats, and authentication methods.

🔧 Development

Available Scripts

The primary development scripts are located in the package.json files within the backend/ and react-app/ directories.

For Backend (in backend/):

| Command | Description |

|--------------|-------------------------------------------------|

| npm start | Starts the backend server in production mode. |

| npm run dev| Starts the backend server in development mode (e.g., with nodemon for auto-restarts). |

For Frontend (in react-app/):

| Command | Description |

|--------------|-------------------------------------------------|

| npm start | Starts the React development server. |

| npm run build | Builds the React app for production. |

| npm test | Runs the test watcher in interactive mode. |

| npm run eject | Removes the single build dependency from your project. |

Development Workflow

1. Ensure both backend and react-app dependencies are installed (npm install in each directory).
2. Set up your .env files as described in the "Environment setup" section.
3. Start the backend server using cd backend && npm run dev (or npm start).
4. Start the frontend development server using cd react-app && npm start.
5. Access the frontend in your browser, typically at http://localhost:3000.

🧪 Testing

The frontend (React) and backend (Node.js) modules likely have their own testing configurations.

For Frontend (in react-app/):

# Run all tests
cd react-app
npm test

# Run tests with coverage (if configured)

# npm test -- --coverage

For Backend (in backend/):

# Run backend tests (if configured)

# cd backend

# npm test

🚀 Deployment

Production Build

To create an optimized production build of the frontend:

cd react-app
npm run build

This command bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance. The build artifacts will be placed in the react-app/build directory.

Deployment Options

• Static Hosting for Frontend: The react-app/build directory can be deployed to static hosting services like Vercel, Netlify, or AWS S3 + CloudFront.
• Backend Hosting: The backend service can be deployed to cloud platforms such as Heroku, AWS EC2, Google Cloud Run, or Render.
• Docker/Containerization: While no Dockerfile is present, for production deployments, containerizing both frontend and backend services using Docker is a common practice.

📚 API Reference

The openspec/ directory is likely dedicated to housing OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications for the backend API. This provides a comprehensive, machine-readable description of the API's endpoints, operations, parameters, and data models.

Authentication

(Inferred, common for full-stack apps) The API likely uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication. Users would typically send credentials to a login endpoint to receive a JWT, which must then be included in the Authorization header for protected routes.

Endpoints

(Examples based on common insurance application needs)

| Method | Endpoint | Description |

|--------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------------|

| POST | /api/auth/register | Register a new user. |

| POST | /api/auth/login | Authenticate user and get JWT. |

| GET | /api/policies | Retrieve all insurance policies. |

| POST | /api/policies | Create a new insurance policy. |

| GET | /api/policies/:id | Retrieve a specific policy by ID. |

| PUT | /api/policies/:id | Update an existing policy. |

| DELETE| /api/policies/:id | Delete a policy. |

| GET | /api/insights/risk-assessment | Get AI-powered risk assessment. |

| POST | /api/claims | Submit a new claim. |
