# Contributing to SnowWorld Narrowcasting System
Thank you for your interest in contributing to the SnowWorld Narrowcasting System! This document provides guidelines and instructions for contributing to the project.
## 🎯 Project Overview
This is a narrowcasting system developed for SnowWorld as part of an MBO Challenge. The system manages and displays content on various screens within the ski resort.
## 🏗️ Architecture
- **Backend**: Node.js with Express
- **Database**: SQLite
- **Frontend**: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript
- **Real-time**: WebSocket (Socket.io)
## 🚀 Quick Start
1. Fork the repository
2. Clone your fork: `git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/narrow-casting-system.git`
3. Install dependencies: `npm run setup`
4. Start development: `npm run dev`
## 📋 Development Guidelines
### Code Style
- Use consistent indentation (2 spaces)
- Follow camelCase for variables and functions
- Use descriptive variable names
- Add comments for complex logic
- Keep functions small and focused
### File Structure
```
backend/
├── server.js # Main server file
├── database/ # Database logic

```
### Commit Messages
Use clear, descriptive commit messages:
- `feat: add real-time content updates`
- `fix: resolve WebSocket connection issues`
- `docs: update API documentation`
- `style: improve responsive design`
## 🔧 Development Process
### 1. Backend Development
```bash
cd backend
npm run dev # Starts with nodemon for auto-reload
```
### 2. Frontend Development
For admin dashboard:
```bash
cd admin
npm start # Serves on http://localhost:8080
```
For client display:
```bash
# Open client/index.html in browser
