amicuswebsite

This repository contains the Node.js server and static files for the Amicus website. The app is built with Express to serve pages and handle file uploads.

Installation

Install the dependencies, build the frontend assets, and start the server:

npm install
npm run build
npm start

By default the server listens on port 3000. You can override this by setting the PORT environment variable. The directory where uploaded files are stored can also be configured via the UPLOAD_DIR environment variable; it defaults to uploads inside the project root.

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env and adjust the values if you need to change the server port or upload directory:

cp .env.example .env
# edit .env as needed

Uploads

Uploaded files sent to /upload are saved inside the directory specified by UPLOAD_DIR (default is uploads in the project root). The server exposes this folder at /uploads so files can be accessed and listed via /files.

All HTML, CSS and client-side JavaScript files reside in the public directory which Express serves automatically. The home page and the resources page are now rendered with the EJS templating engine to avoid repeating markup.

Templates

Dynamic pages live in the views directory and use EJS for rendering. The server renders the index page at / and the resources list at /resources.

Testing

Run the Jest test suite with:

npm test
