CLAUDE.md — Damascus Parking (SCP-Syria)

Working Rules

Modal Close Button Must Be on the Far Left in RTL

Bootstrap compiles .modal-header .btn-close with physical margin-left: auto, which in RTL pushes the × button to the right (next to the title text) instead of to the far left end of the header.

The fix is already applied globally in the [dir="rtl"] block at the bottom of app.scss:

[dir="rtl"] .modal-header .btn-close {
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: auto;
}

Rule: never add inline styles or per-modal hacks to reposition the close button — the global fix handles it. Do not remove this override.

Never Open Links in a New Tab

Hard rule. Links must never use target="_blank" unless the user explicitly requests it.

  • Remove target="_blank" and rel="noopener" from all <a> tags unless told otherwise.
  • This applies to every view, every layout, every page — no exceptions.

Never Use JavaScript alert() / confirm() / prompt()

Hard rule. These native browser dialogs are ugly and break the UI.

  • Never use alert(...), confirm(...), or prompt(...) anywhere in JavaScript.
  • For confirmations: build a Bootstrap modal with Cancel / Confirm buttons.
  • For success/error feedback: use a toast notification or an inline alert element.
  • This applies to every view, every page, every script — no exceptions.

Mandatory: Branch Before Every Change

This is a hard rule. Never modify any file without first creating a git branch and committing the current state.

  1. Create a branch named after the feature or fix being worked on
  2. Stage and commit every file that will be touched — this is the rollback point
  3. Do not push to remote
  4. Then make the changes on that same branch
git checkout -b feature/my-feature-name
git add <files being changed>
git commit -m "backup: before <description of change>"
# now make the changes

To revert a file: git checkout <branch>^ -- path/to/file To revert everything: git checkout <branch>^

Project Overview

Damascus Parking (دمشق باركينغ) is a full-stack web application for parking lot management in Damascus, Syria. It allows the public to search and book parking spaces, operators to manage vehicle check-ins/check-outs, and admins to oversee all operations.

  • Framework: Laravel 12.0 (PHP ^8.2)
  • Database: SQLite (database/database.sqlite)
  • Auth: Laravel Sanctum 4.0 (session-based for web, token-based for API)
  • Frontend: Vite 7 + Bootstrap 5.3 + Sass + Leaflet maps
  • Language/Layout: Arabic (RTL throughout), font: Cairo (Google Fonts)
  • Timezone: Asia/Damascus
  • Local URL: http://localhost:8000

composer dev

# OR individually:

Validation Rules

Phone: must match ^09[0-9]{8}$ (Syrian mobile format)

Booking:

  • start_time: required, after:now
  • end_time: required, after:start_time
  • Custom: parking lot must have available capacity

Parking Lot:

  • total_capacity: integer, 1–10000
  • price_per_hour: numeric, 0.01–1000
  • latitude: -90 to 90, longitude: -180 to 180

Operator Check-in:

  • duration_hours: numeric, 0.25–24

Frontend & Styling

Color palette (CSS variables in app.scss):

  • Primary: #6366f1 (indigo)
  • Sidebar bg: #0f172a
  • Muted text: #64748b
  • Page bg: #f1f5f9

RTL-specific patterns:

  • direction: rtl on <html>
  • Input groups reverse border-radius via CSS overrides in [dir="rtl"] block in app.scss
  • Flexbox rows appear mirrored naturally; no special JS needed
  • Margin/padding use inset-inline-* where needed

Bootstrap RTL spacing — critical rule: Bootstrap is imported as SCSS (@import "bootstrap/scss/bootstrap"), which compiles me-* to physical margin-right and ms-* to margin-left. In RTL, icons sit on the right and text on the left, so margin-right on an icon pushes away from the text — the gap appears on the wrong side.

The fix is already applied in the [dir="rtl"] block at the bottom of app.scss: it swaps all me-*/ms-* physical margins so they behave like Bootstrap's logical properties.

Rule: never add me-* to fix icon-to-text spacing — it already works correctly via the global [dir="rtl"] override. Do not remove or change those overrides. If a new icon appears stuck to its label, the cause is always the same: Bootstrap's LTR SCSS compilation. The fix is already in place globally — just use the standard Bootstrap spacing classes (me-1, me-2, etc.) and they will work correctly in RTL.

Responsive breakpoints:

  • <768px: sidebar hidden, bottom nav visible (56px)
  • 768px–992px: sidebar can toggle
  • >992px: full sidebar + content layout

Libraries:

  • Leaflet 1.9.4 — interactive parking lot map
  • Bootstrap Icons 1.11.3 — icon set
  • Axios 1.11.0 — AJAX calls from admin/operator JS

Fee Calculation Logic

$duration = ceil(now()->diffInHours($entry_time));   // rounds up
$fee = $duration * $parking_lot->price_per_hour;

Fees are always rounded up to the nearest hour.

Availability Calculation

Available spaces = total_capacity − (active bookings count + active car registries count)

CarRegistry::active() scope: whereNull('exit_time') (or exit_time > now()) Booking::active() scope: where('status', 'active')

Overbooking is prevented at API validation time in StoreBookingRequest.

Key Artisan Commands

php artisan migrate                 # Run migrations
php artisan migrate:fresh --seed    # Reset DB and seed
php artisan tinker                  # REPL for debugging
php artisan route:list              # List all routes
php artisan config:clear            # Clear config cache
php artisan make:model Foo -mcr     # Model + migration + controller + resource

Testing

Tests live in tests/Feature/ and tests/Unit/. PHPUnit 11 is configured in phpunit.xml. The test database uses the SQLite in-memory driver by default.

composer test
# or
php artisan config:clear && php artisan test

User-Facing Pages (authenticated)

Route Name Description
GET /profile profile.show User info + edit name + change password
PATCH /profile profile.update Update name (error bag: updateName)
PATCH /profile/password profile.password Change password (error bag: updatePassword)
GET /dashboard user.dashboard User's booking history + stats

Profile dropdown is a Blade partial at resources/views/partials/user-dropdown.blade.php. It is included in both layouts/user.blade.php and index.blade.php. When the user is a guest it shows the login button; when authenticated it shows an avatar circle with a dropdown containing profile, reservations, operator/admin links (role-gated), and sign-out.

Post-login redirect (in routes/auth.php) is role-based:

  • admin → /admin/dashboard
  • operator → /operator/dashboard
  • user → /dashboard

bookings.user_id — nullable FK added via migration 2026_04_15_072226. Existing seeded bookings have user_id = NULL. New bookings made by a logged-in user should set user_id = Auth::id().

Notes & Known Patterns

  • Admin stats (/admin/stats, /admin/charts) are fetched via AJAX on page load — not cached, computed fresh each request.
  • The CarRegistry model tracks physical vehicle presence; Booking tracks reservations — they are separate but both count toward capacity.
  • StoreParkingLotRequest and StoreBookingRequest are in app/Http/Requests/.
  • Arabic error messages are returned by both middleware and validation responses.
  • The TODO.md at the root is nearly empty — "Update with checked" is the only entry.
  • Some API routes have commented-out auth:sanctum middleware; add it back before deploying to production.
