Laravel 5.1 web application for booking appointments
This is an open-source web application designed to allow users to book an appointment. This is very much a work in progress, but the end product will:
- Take into account time for each 'package' to be completed, ensuring no appointment overlapping will be possible
- Implement a robust Administrator interface to easily select the dates and times that are available for appointments
- Store user information (WITH THEIR PERMISSION) in order to create a database for mailing out newsletters and deals
To get this working, you need to install dependencies and set up your .env
composer install
php artisan key:generate
Now add the app key to your .env file, this is also where you define your database (there is an example in root called .env.example)
Next, you need to run the database migrations
php artisan migrate
Creates the tables in the database
php artisan db:seed
Seeds the tables with the relevant data
Laravel (obviously) for the framework
Bootstrap for the front-end
Bootswatch for the base theme, which is (paper)
jQuery for the datepicker
FullCalendar for the admin calendar
Moment.js for date formatting
I will be working on this as often as I can in my spare time ( In between work and school )
The main thing that is missing is an Administrator panel to allow the admin to dictate availability for each day. Once this feature is complete the app will be fully operational.
This was developed with PostGres in mind, so if you have any compatibility issues with other databases, please let me know. I encourage and appreciate any feedback related to this app.
