🧭 DFS-BFS Graph Traversal

This project implements Depth-First Search (DFS) and Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithms for graph traversal. The backend includes user authentication functionality with a Login and Signup page. The project currently stores user data in local storage.

🌟 Features

• 🔑 User Login and Signup system
• 🔍 DFS and BFS graph traversal algorithms
• 💾 Data persistence using LocalStorage
• 🖥️ Frontend built with Angular
• 🔧 Backend using Node.js with Express.js

🚀 How to Set Up and Run the Project

🛠️ Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dfs-bfs-graph-traversal.git
cd GRAPH-TRAVERSAL

🛠️ Step 2: Install Frontend Dependencies

npm install

🛠️ Step 3: Navigate to Backend Directory and Install Backend Dependencies

cd backend
npm install

🛠️ Step 4: Run the Backend Server

From the backend directory, start the backend:

node server.js

Alternatively, you can use nodemon for automatic restarts:

npm install -g nodemon
nodemon server.js

🛠️ Step 5: Start the Frontend Server

Go back to the project root (GRAPH-TRAVERSAL) and run the Angular development server:

ng serve

Your frontend will be running at http://localhost:5000 🌐.

🔐 Login and Signup Pages

• The Signup Page allows users to register by entering a username and password, which is stored in LocalStorage.
• The Login Page checks credentials against the data stored in LocalStorage.

🛠️ How to Access Signup Details from LocalStorage

1. 🖱️ Right-click on the Signup page and select Inspect.
2. 🧰 Navigate to the Application tab in the developer tools.
3. 📂 Under Storage, expand LocalStorage.
4. 🔍 You’ll find the stored signup details there.

🖥️ How the Server Works

The backend server, built with Node.js and Express.js, handles:

• 🛡️ User Authentication: A basic registration and login system.
• 🔄 Graph Traversal: Provides APIs for DFS and BFS traversals.

📊 How the Graph Feature Works

• Input your nodes. Make sure it is in A,B,... format. Comma is necessary
• Input your edges. Make sure it is in the [to]-[from] format. Eg: 0-1
• Click on create custom graph button 🔵
• See how the magic happens
