Just Enough Time

Simple appointment scheduling system made using Node.js

Settings

There's a file named settings.json in the root of the file structure. You can delete any optional settings from the JSON file to use default values.
(Please note that settings are not updated when the server is running)

yearsToFuture (Required)

Type: Number
Default: 2
Supported values: Any number larger or equal than zero
Description: When this is set to zero, it means that users can only make appointmests to current year. Setting it to one means that appointments can be made to current year or next your. You get the idea.

session_secret (Optional)

Type: String
Supported values: Any string
Description: This is used by express-session to sign the session cookie to prevent tampering. Using too short or simple encryption key can be a security issue. It's highly recommended to change this setting as using the default one is very dangerous.

moment_language (Optional)

Type: String
Default: "en"
Supported values: Any Moment.js language code.
Description: Allows you to change Moment.js's locale which sets the format dates are displayed in. Please note that this setting only changes the way dates are displayed. The dates are always calculated using Finnish calendar. E.g. first day of the week is always Monday.

port (Optional)

Type: Number
Default: 8000
Supported values: Any valid port number that is not in use.
Description: The server starts listening to this port. Please note that process.env.PORT overrides this value.

company_name (Optional)

Type: String
Default: "Just Enough Time"
Supported values: Any string. Can be empty.
Description: This string is shown in browser's title bar.

noInteractiveConsole (Optional)

Type: Boolean
Default: false Supported values: Boolean
Description: Set this to true if you want to skip the admin account creation during server startup. If you do, you need to create the account by editing data.json file by hand after the server has started. More information about this below.

Admin Access

Currently the only way to add or modify accounts is to edit data.json file by hand. To add an new account, add following object to the users array:

{
    "username": "Unique username here",
    "password": "sha-256 hash of the password here"
}

Starting the server

    npm install
    node server.js

Do not use Nodemon or similar tools unless you enable noInteractiveConsole
