Register, log in, and explore a real-time parking reservation app built with Laravel 12 and React 19, enabling browsing, reserving, canceling, starting, ending, and Stripe payments at $5 per hour.
Define and migrate sectors, places, reservations, and stripe sessions for a parking app in Laravel. Seed three sectors, ten places per sector, and set default statuses and relationships for payments.
Model relationships define how places, sectors, reservations, and users interact: place belongs to sector, sector has many places, reservation belongs to user and place, start_time and end_time cast to DateTime.
Build a reservation API for parking app by creating a reservation controller, resource, and route, validating reservations and place availability, using a transaction, and returning the updated place as JSON.
Learn how to optimize the real-time parking reservation app by refactoring the back end, introducing private helpers, and eliminating duplicate responses before optimizing the front end.
Optimize the frontend by extracting place request logic to api.js and defining the api base URL. Implement reserve, cancel, and start/end parking actions with centralized error handling.
Display validation errors on login and registration with a custom use validation component that renders field-by-field messages from an errors object, and add a loading spinner during submission.
