PathFinders

PathFinders is a full-stack career guidance app with:

• a React + Vite frontend
• an Express + TypeScript backend
• authentication, onboarding, quiz, chat, recommendations, roadmaps, and dashboard APIs

This Space uses Docker. The container builds both the frontend and backend, then serves the built frontend from the backend on the Hugging Face Space port.

Local structure

• frontend/ contains the React client
• backend/ contains the Express API

Environment variables

Recommended Space secrets:

• JWT_SECRET
• GEMINI_API_KEY (optional)
• GEMINI_MODEL (optional)

If GEMINI_API_KEY is not set, the backend falls back to its deterministic offline counsellor response flow.
