Hospital Appointment System

This project is a Hospital Appointment Management System designed to help manage hospital appointments effectively. The system consists of a backend API and a frontend application.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following software installed on your system:

• XAMPP (for MySQL and phpMyAdmin)
• Visual Studio Code (for frontend development)
• IntelliJ IDEA (for backend development)
• Tomcat Server (optional but recommended for running the application)

Getting Started

Step 1: Run MySQL

1. Open XAMPP
2. Start Apachi server and MySQL.

Step 2: Run the Backend API

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA.
2. Navigate to the project directory and open the HospitalAppointmentSystem_API folder.
3. Run the application by clicking on the Run button in IntelliJ IDEA or by using the Shift + F10 shortcut.

Step 3: Run the Frontend Application

1. Open Visual Studio Code.
2. Navigate to the project directory and open the HospitalAppointmentSystem folder.
3. Open the terminal in Visual Studio Code.
4. Run the following command to start the frontend application:

   npm run dev

5. After running the command, a link will appear in the terminal. It will look something like this:

   https://localhost:5173
   

6. Click on the link or paste it into your web browser.

Step 4: Access the Admin Panel

1. Once you are redirected to the homepage, the URL will look like this:

   https://localhost:5173/home
   

2. To access the admin panel, simply replace /home with /appointment-dash in the URL:

   https://localhost:5173/dashboard
   

You will now be redirected to the admin panel where you can manage appointments.

Additional Information

• Make sure that both the backend API and frontend application are running simultaneously.
• The backend API interacts with the MySQL database, which can be managed using phpMyAdmin provided by XAMPP.
