Airbox Scheduling System

This is an MVP scheduling interface and admin dashboard for Airbox. The project consists of a frontend built with React and a backend using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.

Project Structure

/Airbox-Asessment │── frontend/ # React frontend (Vite + Tailwind) │── backend/ # Node.js + Express + MongoDB backend │── README.md |── docker-compose.yml

Technologies Used

Frontend

• React (Vite)
• Tailwind CSS
• React Router
• Axios

Backend

• Node.js
• Express.js
• MongoDB (Mongoose)
• JWT Authentication
• dotenv (for environment variables)

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/lamba01/Airbox-Asessment.git
cd Airbox-Asessment

cd backend
npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm run dev  # Starts the backend server


cd ../frontend
npm install
npm run dev  # Starts the React frontend


Running with Docker (Optional)
docker-compose up --build

Architecture Overview

• Frontend (React + Tailwind): Handles UI, user interactions, and API communication.
• Backend (Express + MongoDB): Manages data, authentication, and business logic.
• Database (MongoDB): Stores user bookings and schedules.

Assumptions & Limitations

Assumptions

• Users can only book available time slots.
• Admins have full access to modify schedules.
• Authentication is required for booking features.

Limitations

• No real-time updates (WebSockets not implemented).
• No payment integration.

Admin Access

To access the admin dashboard, use the following credentials:

URL: [Live Project Admin Page Path]
Email: admin@example.com
Password: admins

Brief Security Measures Implemented

• JWT Authentication → Ensures secure access to protected routes.
• Environment Variables (.env) → Hides sensitive credentials (DB connection, JWT secret).
• CORS Configuration → Restricts API access to specific origins.
• Input Validation (Mongoose Schema & Middleware) → Prevents invalid or malicious data.
• Error Handling with Proper Status Codes → Prevents information leaks.
• Password Hashing (bcrypt) → If storing user passwords, they are encrypted.
• MongoDB Indexing → Prevents slow queries that could be exploited via DoS attacks.
