NextChair

NextChair is a multi-tenant, white-label booking platform for barbershops. The application is being rebuilt as a conventional Laravel web application using PHP, MySQL, Blade, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and Vite.

The audited Next.js implementation is preserved in legacy-nextjs as the functional and visual migration reference. Deployment-specific files from the previous implementation are retained there for reference only; the Laravel application does not manage Docker, Caddy, Nginx, or server provisioning.

Local development

composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
npm install
npm run build
php artisan serve

Configure the MySQL connection in .env before running migrations. The application resolves a business from the request hostname through the business_domains table. Local development can use a configured local domain or the APP_DEFAULT_BUSINESS_SLUG fallback.

Verification

php artisan test
npm run build
