Room Reservation System

Overview

This system automates the process of managing room reservations for a hotel or any accommodation. Users can view available rooms, check in/out, and book rooms, while administrators can manage room details, bookings, and user information.

Features

• Room Availability Check: Users can view available rooms in real-time.
• Booking Management: Allows users to reserve rooms and view booking details.
• Admin Panel: Admins can manage rooms, check bookings, and update statuses.
• User Management: Users can create an account, manage reservations, and view booking history.
• Responsive UI: Works seamlessly across different devices.

Requirements

Before running the system, ensure you have the following:

• Java Spring: For backend API development.
• Next.js: For creating the frontend.
• MySQL: For storing user data, room availability, and bookings.
• Node.js: Required to run the Next.js application.

Setup Instructions

1. Set up the Backend (Java Spring)

1. Install Spring Boot with dependencies like Spring Web, Spring Data JPA, and MySQL Driver.
2. Create models for Room, Booking, and User.
3. Set up JPA repositories for interacting with MySQL.
4. Create services to manage bookings, room availability, and user authentication.
5. Create REST controllers to expose endpoints for the frontend.

<h3>2. Set up the Frontend (Next.js)</h3>
<ol>
  <li>Initialize a Next.js project.</li>
  <li>Create pages for user registration, room booking, and admin management.</li>
  <li>Integrate API calls with the backend using Axios or fetch.</li>
  <li>Implement user authentication using JWT tokens.</li>
</ol>

<h3>3. Set up MySQL</h3>
<ol>
  <li>Create a MySQL database to store tables for <strong>users</strong>, <strong>rooms</strong>, and <strong>bookings</strong>.</li>
  <li>Ensure proper relationships between the tables for efficient data handling.</li>
</ol>

Usage Instructions

Once everything is set up, follow these steps to run the system:

• Start Backend: Run the Spring Boot application using the command mvn spring-boot:run.
• Start Frontend: Run the Next.js application using npm run dev.

Customization Options

• Room Categories: Customize room categories (e.g., single, double, suite).
• Booking Duration: Allow users to select specific check-in and check-out dates.
• Payment Integration: Integrate with a payment gateway for booking payments.

Troubleshooting

• Database Connection: Verify MySQL is running and check connection details in application.properties.
• API Issues: Ensure that the Spring Boot application is running and API routes are correctly configured.
• Frontend Build Issues: Ensure Next.js is properly set up with React components and API routes.

Tech Stack

Frontend:

• Next.js (React Framework)
• Axios (API Requests)
• Tailwind CSS (Styling)

Backend:

• Spring Boot (Java Framework)
• Spring Data JPA (Database Interaction)
• Spring Security (Authentication & Authorization)

Database:

• MySQL (Relational Database Management System)

Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js & npm installed
• Java 17+ installed
• MySQL Server running

1. Clone the Repository

    
        git clone https://github.com/yourusername/room-reservation-system.git
        cd room-reservation-system
    

2. Setup Backend (Spring Boot)

    
        cd backend
        mvn clean install
        mvn spring-boot:run
    

The backend will run on http://localhost:8080

3. Setup Frontend (Next.js)

    
        cd frontend
        npm install
        npm run dev
    

The frontend will run on http://localhost:3000

API Endpoints

Authentication

• POST /api/auth/register – Register a new user
• POST /api/auth/login – Login and get JWT token

Rooms

• GET /api/rooms – Get all available rooms
• POST /api/rooms – Add a new room (Admin only)

Reservations

• POST /api/reservations – Create a new booking
• GET /api/reservations/{id} – Get reservation details
• DELETE /api/reservations/{id} – Cancel a reservation

How It Works

1. User Signup/Login – Users register and log in with JWT authentication.
2. Book a Room – Users browse available rooms and make reservations.
3. Admin Panel – Admin users can add, remove, or update room listings.
4. Database Management – MySQL stores users, rooms, and reservations.
