A full-stack web application that compiles and runs code in C++ and Python

Online Code Runner

Welcome. This is an online text editor, that runs code in C++ and Python.

How to use

• To try the code runner locally, download the codebase.
• Make sure you have following installed in your system: react, NodeJS, Mongodb, Redis and Bull. I have also used nodemon for help in development while working in NodeJS.
• To run the client-written code in their corresponding languages, you need to have GCC compiler and python installed in your machine.

Then follow the below guide to start (client) frontend and server (backend) part of the application.

Activate Client side

• Open Terminal
• Go to client directory inside the project codespace
• Write npm start. This will open the client side build with react on port:3000 on your local machine

Activate Server side

• Open Terminal
• Go to backend directory inside the project codespace
• Write npm run. If you have the above mentioned entities installed on your machine, you should be able to see a log of Listening on port 5000 and Successfully connected to Mongodb database on terminal window.
• Optional: If you have nodemon installed on your machine, then you can use npm run dev instead of npm run. This will keep the backend in check on any changes made by you, and refresh the server accordingly.

Application name is misleading

Application name is misleading as it's an online code editor as it takes user code and runs it in backend server, compiles over there and responds with output. I do not compiler with my own designed compiler. So the name should be changed to online code runner.
