# Property Management Website API

This project is the **backend** part of the Property Management System. It provides a comprehensive API for managing property operations, such as room reservations, user management, and property details. Built with **Express.js** and **PostgreSQL**, this API serves as the backbone of the property management platform, ensuring efficient data handling, security, and scalability.

## Features

- **User Authentication & Authorization**: Role-based access control using JWT.
- **Room Reservation System**: Manage room availability and bookings.
- **Property Management**: Support for managing multiple properties.
- **File Upload**: Handle image uploads for rooms and users using **Cloudinary** and **Multer**.
- **Automated Scheduling**: Task scheduling with **node-schedule**.
- **PDF Reporting**: Generate PDFs for invoices, reports, etc., using **jsPDF**.
- **Email Notifications**: Send notifications with **EmailJS**.
- **Logging**: Centralized logging using **Winston** with daily log rotation.

## Tech Stack

- **Express.js**: Backend framework for building the API.
- **PostgreSQL**: Relational database for storing data.
- **Sequelize**: ORM for database interactions.
- **JWT**: For user authentication and authorization.
- **Cloudinary**: For image storage and management.
- **Multer**: For handling file uploads.

## Installation

To run the backend API locally:

1. **Clone the repository**:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/zmekonnen251/property-mangement-website-api.git
```
2. **Navigate to the project directory**:

```bash
cd property-mangement-website-api
```
3. **Install the dependencies**:

```bash
npm install
```
4. **Create a `.env` file** in the root directory with the following:

```bash
PORT=5000
DATABASE_URL=your_postgres_database_url
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your_cloudinary_cloud_name
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_cloudinary_api_key
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_cloudinary_api_secret
```
5. **Run database migrations and seed the database**:

```bash
npm run seedDb
```
6. **Start the server**:

```bash
npm run dev
```
The API will be running at `http://localhost:5000`.

## Available Scripts

- `npm start`: Start the production server.
- `npm run dev`: Start the development server using nodemon.
- `npm run lint`: Lint the code using ESLint.
- `npm run format`: Format the code using Prettier.
- `npm run lint:fix`: Fix linting errors automatically.
- `npm run seedDb`: Seed the database with sample data.
