The Visitor Registrations application is a visitor registration system that can be integrated and used in various organizations, offices, enterprises, medical institutions, universities, public places, etc.
This project is a web application developed using Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Socket.io, etc. Implementation add-on based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern, which allows you to easily expand the add-on logic to different components.
The main functionality of the application includes registration and authentication of users, as well as managing visitor data. Users can register, log in and create information about visitors with their personal data, date and time of arrival and departure. The application also provides the ability to view the list of visitors by a certain date and when users change information (create, update, delete), it updates the table with data in real time.
Additionally, the project provides the functionality of exporting data in Excel format, which allows you to download a table with information about visitors for a specific date and conduct analytics.
The advantages of this project include an intuitive interface, ease of use, additional tools for working with the table (sorting, searching by the table, number of rows displayed per page), real-time data update for all users (AJAX, Socket.io), high level of security (using CSRF tokens and JWT) and the flexibility to extend functionality using Node.js and Express.js.
This project can be used in various organizations that require registration and management of visitors.
