This repository contains the frontend client for the Placement Portal, a full-stack web application designed to streamline the job placement process. This responsive user interface is built with vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and it communicates with a backend REST API to function.

➡️ Backend Repository: placement-portal-backend

You can view the complete, deployed application here: https://hack-2-hired.onrender.com/

• Intuitive Job Board: Clean and easy-to-navigate interface for students to browse job opportunities.
• Secure Login: Interface for JWT-based user authentication.
• Role-Based Views: Dynamically displays different options and views for "Admin" and "Student" roles.
• Admin Dashboard: Provides forms and controls for admins to create and manage job postings.
• Responsive Design: Ensures a seamless experience across desktop and mobile devices.

To run the frontend client locally, you must have the backend server running first.

• A modern web browser (like Chrome, Firefox).
• A local web server to serve the static files (optional, but recommended to avoid CORS issues). The Live Server extension for VS Code is a great option.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/abhi6101/placement-portal-frontend.git
   cd placement-portal-frontend

2. Ensure the Backend is Running: Follow the setup instructions in the backend repository to start the server on http://localhost:8080.

3. Run the Frontend:

   • If using the VS Code Live Server extension, right-click on index.html and select "Open with Live Server".
   • Alternatively, you can open the index.html file directly in your web browser.

4. Configure API endpoint (if necessary):

   • In the JavaScript files, ensure that all API requests are pointing to http://localhost:8080. If you need to change this, search for the base URL variable in the code.
