So what's confusing to me is the fact that there's no way to set availability based on time period e.g. 10:30, 11:30 etc. How do you plan on addressing appointment overlapping? Also, I think it would deter a lot of customers if they had to sign up and register just to book an appointment. Other than that I want to say it looks very nice and you were 100% right, we're solving different problems here haha!
So, what you find here is that actually I'm planning to have different booking strategies.
And so far, I've implemented just one, which I call DATESLOT, this means reserving a date, with a fixed time.
This comes from a previous app I have in production, which one of my clients use this type of booking, so I started from here.
But then, there'll be another strategy called TIMESLOT, which would be using Date and Time
And for this, the same Appointment Model can be used
What would change is the reservation algorithm.
And that reservation strategy would fit well for businessess like hairdressers, spa, doctors, etc.
Unfortunately I haven't yet covered this idea with proper documentation so your comments are perfectly well said.

Honestly I don't plan on taking my app any further than single user appointment booking, possibly adding the ability to have multiple employees you can choose to book with. But once I'm done I would very much like to collaborate and adapt my code for your TIMESLOT strategy :), I came on github looking for collab experience so this seems like a great opportunity.
I'm willing to make the timegrid booking engine a module instead of embedded functions in the app, but I have to round up things before I think on encapsulating funcs.
Let me know if I can help with your code piece, and if you don't mind, Id like the Timeslot strategy to implement kind of the workflow you use in your app. Well,, just some ideas, let me know!
So appointments may be booked for a day or for a date and time (capacity validation takes place)
now... the GUI I use for this is just the worst :smile: :smile:
I don't know if you're using a css framework at all but I used http://bootswatch.com/ for mine, might help if you want a quick solution
I believe you can get rid of this line since the
$link variable is not used, maybe you can clean up this code? https://github.com/alariva/booking-app/blob/master/resources/views/BookAppointment.blade.php#L3
Or reference to your project, just the same: https://github.com/zeke8402/booking-app/blob/master/resources/views/BookAppointment.blade.php#L3
I'm back because I really love the UX simplicity you could turn to the booking process. So far I have struggled a lot to bring some of this simplicity to timgrid. There are probably some things I would suggest enhancing, but I don't feel confident enough with the roadmap of your project. Maybe I can help you out with something?
Thank you, it is actually taking a lot of hard work and lot's of mistakes! But thanks for the nice words. :) I believe booking-app has it's potential as well!
Unfortunately this is as far as I think I'll get with the project minus a few minor tweaks. Client is happy and it's in production. If I could do it differently I would use a REST api with angular to make it even more simple, but I don't plan on growing this any more unless there's a big demand for it later.
Yours is far more robust, mine was just a niche thing for a single client. I really like all the features of your app
is that right ?
anyone plz let me know what will be the exact problem
I don't know your setup, but it's likely that you need to just chmod or chown the folder you put the app in so that apache can read it
