This app currently has Catering, Locations, Decor Vendors alongwith different Studios all at one place, You do not need to contact different people for different tasks. Everything is available on a single click.

This project demonstrates how Java, MySQL can be applied to a real-world Full Stack Web Development problem.

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/HxnDev/Event-Management-System.git
cd Event-Management-System

1. Once Java is installed, you will need to download javafx sdk 15. I have provided it in this repository. Folder can be placed anywhere, but preferably place it within your project directory.
2. Download and install MySql. The default installation options will work fine, but you can modify if you need to. Set username and password as you like, and create a database/schema (name can be anything.)
3. You can run queries by copy/pasting them into the MySql console, which can be opened in MySql once you have created your schema/database.
4. All the external java libraries required have been added in this repository, in the 'required jar files' folder. To add them to your project, do the following in IntelliJ:
5. Open your project
6. Click File from the toolbar
7. Select Project Structure option
8. Select Modules in the left panel

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add role-based access control
• Deploy on a VPS or cPanel hosting with a custom domain
• Add automated tests and a CI pipeline
