Web application for booking beauty appointments (ASP.NET Core 3.1). My project for the ASP.NET Core course at SoftUni.

BeautyBooking

A beauty bookings web application for hair, nails, spa etc. appointments. 📆 💅

🎯 My project for the ASP.NET Core course at SoftUni. (April 2020)

ℹ️ How It Works

• Guest visitors:
  • browse categories of beauty services;
  • view salons with their services;
  • read blog posts.
• Logged Users:
  • book appointments using interactive datepicker;
  • can cancel appointments;
  • can rate salons for which they had confirmed past appointments.
• Salon Manager (user role):
  • confirms/declines users' appointments for particular salon;
  • controls what services are available for booking in the salon.
• Admin:
  • creates/deletes blog posts, categories, salons and services;
  • can review the appointments history.

⚙️ Application Configurations

1. The Connection string

is in appsettings.json. If you don't use SQLEXPRESS, you should replace Server=.\\SQLEXPRESS; with Server=.;

2. Database Migrations

would be applied when you run the application, since the ASPNETCORE-ENVIRONMENT is set to Development. If you change it, you should apply the migrations yourself.

3. Seeding sample data

would happen once you run the application, including Test Accounts:

• User: [email protected] / password: 123456
• Salon Manager: [email protected] / password: 123456
• Admin: [email protected] / password: 123456

4. Cloudinary Setup - optionally

Running without it:

You won't get an error for missing Cloudinary Credentials - it is handled by using predefined (already uploaded) image, when Cloudinary configuration is missing. So when you are creating content in admin panel, it will be added but not with the image you have chosen.

If you want to actually upload images, you should:

1. Add Cloudinary Credentials in appsettings.json in the format:

  "Cloudinary": {
    "CloudName": "",
    "ApiKey": "",
    "ApiSecret": "",
    "EnvironmentVariable": ""
  }

2. Update the Cloudinary Setup part of Startup.cs's ConfigureServices method as follows:

            // Cloudinary Setup
            Cloudinary cloudinary = new Cloudinary(new Account(
                this.configuration["Cloudinary:CloudName"],
                this.configuration["Cloudinary:ApiKey"],
                this.configuration["Cloudinary:ApiSecret"]));
            services.AddSingleton(cloudinary);
