A premier academic conference management platform connecting researchers, policymakers, and practitioners across Africa and the globe. # Focus Space Platform Academic conference management platform built with React + Vite + TypeScript (frontend) and Strapi (backend). ## Project Structure ``` focus-space-platform/ frontend/ React + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind + Framer Motion backend/ Strapi CMS (initialise separately) ``` --- ## Getting Started ### Option A — Docker (recommended) **Requirements:** Docker Desktop ≥ 4.x ```bash cd focus-space-platform docker compose up --build ``` | Service | URL | |----------|------------------------------| | Frontend | localhost | | Strapi | localhost | | Admin | localhost | > **First run:** Strapi builds its admin panel on startup — allow 2–3 minutes. > SQLite data persists in a Docker named volume (`strapi-db`). Stop everything: ```bash docker compose down ``` Stop and wipe volumes (reset database): ```bash docker compose down -v ``` --- ### Option B — Run locally (no Docker) **Frontend:** ```bash cd frontend cp .env.example .env npm install npm run dev ``` Opens at: localhost — works with dummy data even without Strapi. **Backend (Strapi):** ```bash cd backend cp .env.example .env npm install npm run develop ``` Strapi admin: localhost See `backend/STRAPI_SETUP.md` for collection type schemas. --- ### Production (Docker + PostgreSQL) ```bash docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build -d ``` Set these env vars before running (or in a root `.env`): ``` DATABASE_NAME=focusspace DATABASE_USERNAME=strapi DATABASE_PASSWORD=changeme VITE_STRAPI_URL=api.yourdomain.com ``` --- ## Frontend Pages | Route | Page | |------------------------|---------------------| | `/` | Home | | `/conferences` | All Conferences | | `/conferences/:slug` | Conference Detail | | `/past-events` | Past Events | | `/speakers` …
