PMS Pads

Project Overview

"PMS Pads" is a unique and humorous web-based service offering men a week-long studio rental during their partner's PMS.

• Personalized Amenities: Each studio is equipped with a variety of entertainment and comfort options.
• Online Booking System: Easy-to-use interface for checking availability and making reservations.

Technologies

This project leverages a combination of cutting-edge technologies for efficient full-stack web development:

• NX: NX is used for managing the monorepo structure of this project. It provides powerful tools for building and testing applications with a shared codebase, making it easier to maintain consistency and efficiency across the entire project.

• React: React, a widely-used JavaScript library for building user interfaces, is chosen for developing the frontend. Its component-based approach allows for a modular and scalable structure, enabling us to create a dynamic and responsive user experience for the "PMS Pads" website.

• NestJS: For the backend, we are utilizing NestJS, an advanced Node.js framework. NestJS offers a robust platform for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications. Its use of TypeScript and integration with modern Node.js features makes it an ideal choice for developing the backend services, APIs, and database interactions needed for this project.

Installation

After cloning the repo, run npm i to install all nodejs packages required.
