Smart Contact Manager is an application to manage personal and business contacts — add, edit, delete, search and organize contacts. This README is a draft and should be updated to reflect the repository's actual implementation details (languages, frameworks, build tools, exact commands, environment variables, database schema, and endpoints).

Smart Contact Manager helps you store and manage contacts with ease. Typical features include contact creation, editing, deletion, search/filtering, grouping/tags, and import/export capabilities. It can run locally for development or be deployed to a server.

Replace this overview with an accurate summary after examining the code (web app vs desktop vs mobile, back-end framework, front-end framework).

• Add, edit and delete contacts
• List and paginate contacts
• Search and filter contacts by name, email, phone, or tags
• Grouping or tagging contacts
• Import/Export (CSV, vCard) — if implemented
• User authentication and authorization — if implemented
• Responsive UI (if web frontend included)

(Adjust above to match implemented features.)

Replace or confirm the items below with actual stack used in this repository:

• Backend: (e.g., Java + Spring Boot / Node.js + Express / Python + Django / etc.)
• Frontend: (e.g., React / Angular / Vue / Thymeleaf / plain HTML)
• Database: (e.g., PostgreSQL / MySQL / MongoDB / SQLite / H2)
• Build tools: (e.g., Maven / Gradle / npm / yarn)
• Runtime: (e.g., JDK 17, Node 18)
• Testing: (unit / integration frameworks)
• Docker: (if Dockerfile / docker-compose present)

These are generic setup steps. Replace commands and version numbers with ones appropriate for the project.

• Git
• Appropriate runtime (e.g., Java 17, Node 18+, Python 3.10+)
• Database (if not embedded): PostgreSQL/MySQL/MongoDB
• Optional: Docker and Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/Rbholika/Smart_Contact_Manager.git
cd Smart_Contact_Manager

If the project is a Java Spring Boot app:

# Build
./mvnw clean package   # or ./gradlew build

# Run
./mvnw spring-boot:run  # or java -jar target/<app>.jar

If the project is Node.js:

cd backend
npm install
npm run dev   # or npm start

If there's a separate frontend:

cd frontend
npm install
npm run start

If the project requires a DB, create a database and update connection settings in the appropriate config or environment file (e.g., application.properties, .env).

List and set required environment variables or config files:

• DATABASE_URL / SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL
• DATABASE_USERNAME
• DATABASE_PASSWORD
• JWT_SECRET (if auth)
• PORT (optional)

Add example .env or application.properties snippets here once repo is inspected.

Replace with actual test commands:

# Backend tests
./mvnw test        # or ./gradlew test
# or
npm test

# Frontend tests
npm test

If a Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml is present, use:

# Build image
docker build -t smart-contact-manager .

# Or use docker-compose
docker-compose up --build

• Provide deployment steps here (Heroku, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Add CI/CD notes if workflows are included (GitHub Actions)

Include the actual repo structure after inspection. Example:

• backend/ - server-side code
• frontend/ - client-side code
• database/ - migrations or seeds
• docs/ - documentation
• scripts/ - helper scripts

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a feature branch: git checkout -b feature/my-feature
3. Commit your changes: git commit -m "Add feature"
4. Push to the branch: git push origin feature/my-feature
5. Open a pull request

Include code style and testing requirements after reviewing existing repo conventions.

Specify the license used in the repository (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0). If none, add one or ask the maintainer.

If you'd like, I can now:

• Attempt to read the repository files again and update this README to match the actual code, or
• Generate a README tailored to the project if you paste the list of files or core files (pom.xml/package.json, main application files, README notes, or server and client entry points). Please tell me how you'd like to proceed.
