✅ `/QUICKSTART.md` - This quick start guide

## Next Steps - Setup Instructions

### Step 1: Database Setup
1. Open MySQL command line or MySQL Workbench
2. Run the commands:
   ```sql
   mysql -u root -p < database.sql
   ```
3. This will create the `hotel_db` database with all tables and sample data

### Step 2: Backend Setup
```bash
cd backend
npm install
npm start
```
Backend will run on http://localhost:5000

### Step 3: Frontend Setup
Open a new terminal:
```bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```
Frontend will run on http://localhost:5173

### Step 4: Login
Open http://localhost:5173 and login with:
- **Username**: admin
- **Password**: password

## Default Database Credentials
Update in `/backend/.env`:
- Host: localhost
- User: root
- Password: password (change as needed)
- Database: hotel_db

## Project Features

✅ User Authentication (JWT)
✅ Room Management (CRUD)
✅ Customer Management (CRUD)
✅ Booking System with date ranges
✅ Payment Tracking
✅ Reports and Analytics
✅ Modal-based forms
✅ Responsive UI design
✅ RESTful API architecture

## API Ports
- **Backend**: 5000
- **Frontend**: 5173 (Vite default)

## Important Notes

1. **Tailwind CSS**: Not installed as per your request. The app uses basic CSS with Tailwind class names prepared for styling. You can add Tailwind later if needed.

2. **JWT Secret**: Change `JWT_SECRET` in `.env` before deploying to production

3. **Database Password**: Update the database password in `.env` to match your MySQL setup

4. **CORS**: Backend is configured with CORS enabled for localhost:5173

## Troubleshooting

### MySQL Connection Failed
- Ensure MySQL service is running
- Check credentials in `.env`
- Verify database exists: `SHOW DATABASES;`

### Modules Not Found
- Run `npm install` in both backend and frontend directories
- Clear node_modules if issues persist: `rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json && npm install`

### Port Already in Use
- Backend: Change PORT in `.env`
- Frontend: Change in `vite.config.js`

## File Organization

All files are properly organized with:
- Clear separation of concerns (backend/frontend)
- Modular route structure
- Reusable components
- Middleware for authentication
- Environment-based configuration

## You're All Set! 🎉

The hotel reservation system is now ready to use. Start both the backend and frontend servers and begin managing your hotel bookings!
