## 🔐 Authentication & Authorization
### JWT Implementation
The application uses JWT tokens for secure authentication:
```typescript
// Token generation
const token = jwt.sign(
{ userId: user._id, email: user.email, role: user.role },
process.env.JWT_SECRET!,
{ expiresIn: process.env.JWT_EXPIRES_IN }
);
// Token verification middleware
const verifyToken = (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
const token = req.cookies.auth_token;
if (!token) {
return res.status(401).json({ message: "Access denied" });
}
try {
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET!);
req.userId = decoded.userId;
next();
} catch (error) {
res.status(401).json({ message: "Invalid token" });
}
};
```
### Role-based Access Control
Different user roles have different permissions:
- **User**: Can book hotels, view their bookings
- **Hotel Owner**: Can manage their hotels, view analytics
- **Admin**: Full access to all features
```typescript
// Role verification middleware
const requireRole = (roles: string[]) => {
return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
if (!roles.includes(req.userRole)) {
return res.status(403).json({ message: "Insufficient permissions" });
}
next();
};
};
```
---
## 💳 Payment Integration
### Stripe Integration
The application integrates with Stripe for secure payment processing:
```typescript
// Create payment intent
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount: totalCost * 100, // Convert to cents
currency: "usd",
metadata: {
hotelId,
userId,
bookingId,
},
});
// Payment confirmation
const confirmPayment = await stripe.paymentIntents.confirm(paymentIntentId, {
payment_method: paymentMethodId,
});
```
### Payment Flow
1. User selects hotel and dates
2. System calculates total cost
3. Stripe payment intent is created
4. User completes payment
5. Booking is confirmed
6. Confirmation email is sent
---
## 🔍 Search & Filtering
### Advanced Search Implementation
The search system supports multiple filtering options:
```typescript
// Search query building
const buildSearchQuery = (searchParams: SearchParams) => {
const query: any = {};
if (searchParams.destination) {
query.$or = [
{ city: { $regex: searchParams.destination, $options: "i" } },
{ country: { $regex: searchParams.destination, $options: "i" } },
{ name: { $regex: searchParams.destination, $options: "i" } },
];
}
if (searchParams.maxPrice) {
query.pricePerNight = { $lte: parseInt(searchParams.maxPrice) };
}
if (searchParams.facilities?.length) {
query.facilities = { $all: searchParams.facilities };
}
if (searchParams.types?.length) {
query.type = { $in: searchParams.types };
}
return query;
};
```
### Filter Components
Reusable filter components for different criteria:
```typescript
// Price Filter Component
const PriceFilter = ({ onPriceChange }: PriceFilterProps) => {
const [priceRange, setPriceRange] = useState([0, 1000]);
return (
Price Range
£{priceRange[0]}
£{priceRange[1]}
);
};
```
---
## 📊 Analytics Dashboard
### Real-time Analytics
The analytics dashboard provides comprehensive insights:
```typescript
// Analytics data structure
interface AnalyticsData {
overview: {
totalRevenue: number;
totalBookings: number;
averageRating: number;
occupancyRate: number;
};
trends: {
revenue: RevenueData[];
bookings: BookingData[];
ratings: RatingData[];
};
topPerformers: {
hotels: HotelAnalytics[];
destinations: DestinationAnalytics[];
};
forecasts: {
revenue: ForecastData[];
bookings: ForecastData[];
};
}
```
### Chart Components
Interactive charts using Recharts library:
```typescript
// Revenue Chart Component
const RevenueChart = ({ data }: { data: RevenueData[] }) => {
return (
);
};
```
---
## 🧪 Testing
### End-to-End Testing
The project includes comprehensive E2E tests using Playwright:
```bash
# Run E2E tests
cd e2e-tests
npm install
npm test
```
### Test Structure
```typescript
// Example test: Hotel search functionality
test("should search hotels with filters", async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto("/search");
// Fill search form
await page.fill('[data-testid="destination-input"]', "London");
await page.selectOption('[data-testid="adult-count"]', "2");
await page.click('[data-testid="search-button"]');
// Verify results
await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="hotel-card"]')).toHaveCount(5);
});

## 🚀 Deployment
### Backend Deployment (Railway/Heroku)
1. **Prepare for deployment:**
```bash
cd hotel-booking-backend
npm run build
```
2. **Environment variables setup:**
- Set all required environment variables in your hosting platform
- Ensure MongoDB connection string is production-ready
- Configure CORS for production domain
3. **Deploy to Render:**
```bash
# Connect your GitHub repository
# Render normally doesn't auto-deploy on push to main branch, so everytime you modify anything in backend, you have to redeploy the render server by yourself
```
### Frontend Deployment (Netlify/Vercel)
1. **Build the application:**
```bash
cd hotel-booking-frontend
npm run build
