• UI Components: Radix UI, shadcn/ui
• Database: PostgreSQL (Supabase) with Prisma ORM
• State Management: Zustand
• Forms: React Hook Form with Zod validation
• Charts: Recharts
• Deployment: Next.js standalone build

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• PostgreSQL database (Supabase)
• Bun or npm

Installation

# Or using bun
bun install

3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in the root directory:

# Database (Supabase)
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://username:password@host:port/database"

# Next.js
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL="http://localhost:3001"
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-secret-key-here"
NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3001"

4. Set up the database

# Push schema to database
npm run db:push

# Generate Prisma client
npm run db:generate

5. Run the development server

npm run dev

The application will be available at http://localhost:3001

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Required
DATABASE_URL	PostgreSQL connection string	Yes
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL	Application URL	Yes
NEXTAUTH_SECRET	Secret for NextAuth.js	Yes
NEXTAUTH_URL	NextAuth.js URL	Yes

Usage

1. For Patients: Visit the homepage to view current wait times and register for a queue ticket
2. For Administrators: Access the admin panel to manage queues, view analytics, and configure system settings
3. For Display: Use the dashboard view on hospital displays for real-time queue information
