Hey there! I've been working on ClassConnect, a full-stack Learning Management System built with Go (backend) and React with TypeScript (frontend). This project combines robust server architecture with a modern, responsive UI to create a comprehensive educational platform. Let me walk you through what I've built so far! 😊

ClassConnect is designed to simplify the educational experience for both teachers and students. The platform manages courses, assignments, quizzes, materials, and user interactions in an intuitive interface.

• Go with Gin framework for the API server
• GORM for database interactions with PostgreSQL
• JWT for authentication
• Firebase for cloud storage
• Docker for containerization

• React with TypeScript
• Ant Design components for UI
• Redux Toolkit for state management
• Styled Components for custom styling
• React Router for navigation
• Framer Motion for animations

• Create and manage courses with detailed information
• Organize courses by category and difficulty
• Support for multiple course roles (student, teacher, admin)
• Invitation system with unique codes

• Create assignments with due dates, file requirements, and grading criteria
• Support for multiple file types in submissions
• Detailed submission tracking and management
• Grading system with feedback options

• Interactive quiz creation with various question types
• Timed quizzes with custom settings
• Automatic and manual grading options
• Result analytics for instructors

• Upload and organize course materials
• Support for various file formats
• Link sharing capabilities

• Role-based access control (student, teacher, admin)
• Profile management
• Enrollment tracking

• Personalized dashboards for users
• Upcoming assignments tracking
• Course announcements and notifications

I've structured the project with clean separation of concerns:

• Models: Define database structures and relationships
• Services: Handle business logic
• Handlers: Process HTTP requests and responses
• Routes: Define API endpoints
• Middlewares: Implement cross-cutting concerns like authentication

• Components: Reusable UI elements organized by feature
• Store: Redux slices for state management
• Hooks: Custom React hooks for shared logic
• API: Services for backend communication
• Utils: Helper functions and utilities

The backend exposes RESTful endpoints for various resources:

• /users/*: User authentication and profile management
• /courses/*: Course CRUD operations
• /assignments/*: Assignment management
• /submissions/*: Submission handling
• /materials/*: Learning materials
• /quizzes/*: Quiz creation and participation
• /grades/*: Grading and feedback

I've implemented JWT-based authentication with secure token handling. The system includes:

• Registration and login flows
• Password hashing with bcrypt
• JWT token generation and validation
• Protected routes with authorization middleware

• PostgreSQL for relational data
• Firebase Storage for file uploads (assignments, materials, etc.)

• Responsive design for desktop and mobile
• Dark/light theme support
• Interactive components with animations
• Drag-and-drop file uploads
• Rich text editing for assignments and materials
• Interactive calendar for scheduling

• Go 1.22+
• Node.js 20.17+
• PostgreSQL
• Firebase account (for storage)

1. Clone the repository
2. Set up environment variables (see .env.example)
3. Run go mod download to install dependencies
4. Run go run main.go to start the server

1. Navigate to the client directory
2. Run npm install to install dependencies
3. Run npm run dev to start the development server

I have several ideas for expanding ClassConnect:

• Real-time chat functionality for course discussions
• Video conferencing integration for virtual classrooms
• AI-assisted learning features
• Mobile app versions
• Advanced analytics for learning progress
• Improved accessibility features

I'd love your contributions! Feel free to:

• Report bugs or suggest features by opening issues
• Submit pull requests with improvements
• Share ideas for new features
