Abstract

The purpose of the product is to create a professional website for registering and signing up users and let them book events of their choice in the city of their preference. The user will get an unique QR code which would be generated from the backend after the payment is confirmed from the Payment Portal incorporated in the portal. The admin portal gives a full overview of all the details that could be needed by the admins. There are various levels of admins; the ones incharge of the entire portal who can add or delete events and make any changes to the events & the event admins who can add and view all details relevant to the details of the events they are in charge of.

Sections of this Project

This project has three layers and folder structured in that way.

• The admin portal front-end is located under the dashboard folder.
• The user portal front-end is located under web folder.
• The backend API stack is located under the api folder.

Instructions

Using the Database for development and testing.

For development and testing purposes, we recommend you to use MongoDB Atlas and connect to the application via connection string. Here's how to do that:

• Sign in to your MongoDB Atlas account. If you do not have an account yet, create one here
• After logging in, you’ll be prompted to build your first project and cluster (choose the one that's free) by choosing a cloud provider and region. You may leave everything as default. (Be sure to use the M0 free cluster tier, which is usually selected by default)
• Wait for the cluster to be created. Once done, click on Connect
• Connect promt appears, you will be prompted to set up your Internet Protocol (IP) and whitelist your IP address. This is important, as it ensures that only you can access the cluster in the cloud from your IP address.
• Next, you’ll need to create a MongoDB user to access your cluster. Simply enter the new username and password and do not forget it!
• Moving on to Choose a connection method tab, choose Connect Your Application
• Next, Copy the connection string and hit close

You now have the connection string that you can add as an environment variable under a key named ATLAS_URI

How to run the application on localhost

To run the application on local host, open two different terminals - one in the /api directory and the other in the /web directory

• Make sure you add create the .env file in the /api directory with your ATLAS_URI key value.
• Run npm i in both the terminals to install the required packages.
• Run npm start in the /api directory terminal
• Run ng serve in the /web directory terminal
