Architecture

Architecture diagram

Decoupled frontend-backend architecture. Next.js 14 frontend on port 3001 communicates with NestJS API on port 3000 via typed fetch client.

Prisma manages PostgreSQL with Room and Booking models. Service layer validates time ranges and checks overlaps before persisting.

React Context provides global filter and UI state; custom hooks wrap API calls with loading/error handling.

Infrastructure & déploiement

Frontend deployable on Vercel; backend on Render or Docker container with PostgreSQL.

Défis & solutions

1

Booking overlap detection

Le problème

Two users booking the same room for overlapping times caused conflicts.

Comment je l'ai résolu

Service-layer query checking active bookings with overlapping time ranges before insert.

const conflict = await prisma.booking.findFirst({
  where: { roomId, status: 'ACTIVE',
    startTime: { lt: endTime }, endTime: { gt: startTime } },
});
if (conflict) throw new ConflictException('Room already booked');
2

Past booking prevention

Le problème

Users could create bookings in the past.

Comment je l'ai résolu

Validation pipe rejects startTime before current timestamp.

if (dto.startTime < new Date()) throw new BadRequestException('Cannot book in the past');
3

Frontend error handling

Le problème

API errors crashed components without user feedback.

Comment je l'ai résolu

ErrorBoundary wrapper and ErrorAlert component with retry logic in useApi hook.

Leçons apprises

  1. 1

    Conflict checks belong in the service layer

    Database constraints help, but explicit overlap logic in the booking service gives clear error messages to users.

  2. 2

    Room state is separate from bookings

    MAINTENANCE state should block bookings regardless of calendar availability.

  3. 3

    Internship scope needs clear MVP

    Focused on dashboard + booking first; profile routes were cut to ship on time.

Ce que je ferais différemment

Add WebSocket push for live room status instead of polling, and implement role-based access for admins vs employees.
