About

PB Attendence Tracker App is designed to make taking and managing attendance simple, auditable, and exportable. It provides a web interface (and/or API) for marking present/absent, tracking sessions, and exporting attendance reports.

Features

• Create and manage events/sessions
• Register participants (students, attendees, members)
• Mark attendance (manual or QR/Link-based)
• Export attendance reports (CSV / Excel / PDF)
• Role-based access: admin / instructor / viewer
• REST API for integration with other systems

Tech stack

Replace with the actual stack used in this repo. Examples:

• Backend: Node.js + Express / Nest / Django / Flask / Rails
• Database: PostgreSQL / MySQL / SQLite
• Frontend: React / Vue / Angular / Svelte
• Auth: JWT / OAuth / Session-based
• Deploy: Docker, Kubernetes, Vercel, Heroku

Prerequisites

Install the tools required for the project. Replace with the actual requirements:

• Git >= 2.x
• Node.js >= 16.x and npm/yarn (if Node is used)
• Python 3.8+ and pip (if Python is used)
• PostgreSQL (or your chosen DB) for production-like local testing
• Docker & Docker Compose (recommended for local dev)

Getting started (local)

These are example steps update them to fit your repo layout and commands.

1. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/pointblank-club/PB_Attendence_Tracker_App.git cd PB_Attendence_Tracker_App

2. Install dependencies

   • If a monorepo with frontend/backend: cd backend npm install # or pip install -r requirements.txt cd ../frontend npm install

   • If single app: npm install

3. Create a .env file from the example and update values: cp .env.example .env

   Edit .env to set DB credentials, secrets, ports, etc.

4. Setup the database (example commands)

   • Using migrations: cd backend npm run migrate # or python manage.py migrate
   • Or via Docker Compose: docker-compose up -d docker-compose exec backend

Configuration

Environment variables are used to configure the app. Add a .env.example file to the repository with the variables and example values such as:

• DATABASE_URL or DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME
• JWT_SECRET or SESSION_SECRET
• PORT
• NODE_ENV

Never commit secrets or production credentials to the repository.

Database

• Development: SQLite / local PostgreSQL
• Production: PostgreSQL (recommended)
• Migrations: Use the project's migration tool (e.g., Sequelize, TypeORM, Django migrations, Alembic, Rails ActiveRecord)

Example: npm run migrate npm run seed # optional: seed dev data

Running

Run the application locally (replace commands with actual ones):

• Start backend cd backend npm run dev # or python manage.py runserver

• Start frontend cd frontend npm run start

• Or run with Docker Compose docker-compose up --build

Visit http://localhost:3000 (or configured port).

Testing

Describe how to run tests for your project. Example:

• Unit tests: cd backend npm test # or pytest, python -m unittest

• Run frontend tests: cd frontend npm test

• Test coverage: npm run test:coverage

Make sure tests can run in CI without interactive prompts.

Linting & formatting

• JavaScript/TypeScript: ESLint + Prettier npm run lint npm run format

• Python: flake8 / black / isort black . flake8 .

Configure pre-commit hooks (see .pre-commit-config.yaml if present).

Deployment

Deployment depends on your target environment. Common options:

• Containerize with Docker and deploy to a cloud provider (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean)
• Use managed services: Heroku, Render, Railway
• Frontend on Vercel/Netlify, API on a container service

Add CI workflows (GitHub Actions) to run tests and linters on PRs.
