🕒 Yet Another Attendance System (YAAS)

Welcome to Yet Another Attendance System, a Next.js project designed to showcase a modern, well-structured, and type-safe web application. This project demonstrates a comprehensive solution for managing employee clock-ins and clock-outs while offering a sleek, user-friendly interface for both employees and administrators.

⚠️ Note: This project was built primarily as a coding exercise. While it's fully functional, it's not intended for production use.

🚀 Features

🔐 Admin Panel

• User Management: Create, update, and delete users with ease.
• Schedule Creation: Define work schedules and assign them to multiple users.
• Attendance Tracking: Easily view and manage clock-ins and clock-outs from employees.

👤 User Dashboard

• Clock-in/Clock-out: Employees can log their work hours directly from their dashboard.
• Attendance History: Employees can view a detailed list of their clock-ins and clock-outs to avoid confusion.

📦 File Uploads with MinIO

The project includes a feature for uploading user avatars using MinIO, implemented through a presigned URL system:

• Secure Uploads: Presigned URLs allow clients to upload files directly to MinIO without exposing sensitive credentials.

This demonstrates a way to use cloud storage systems and implement secure file upload workflows in a scalable manner.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Next.js: The React framework for production-grade applications.
• next-safe-actions: Type-safe server actions for modern Next.js applications.
• Zod: Schema validation and type inference for reliable input handling.
• Drizzle ORM: Type-safe and lightweight ORM for database management.
• SQLite: A simple and powerful database for lightweight data storage.
• shadcn/ui: A component library to create modern and beautiful interfaces.
• Zustand: A small, fast, and scalable state management solution for React, used to manage global state across the app.
• MinIO: Object storage for securely managing file uploads.

📚 What This Project Demonstrates

• Full-stack Development: A comprehensive application covering both front-end and back-end functionality.
• Type Safety: Extensive use of TypeScript, next-safe-actions, and Zod to ensure reliability.
• Modern UI/UX: A sleek interface built with shadcn/ui for a professional look and feel.
• Database Expertise: Use of Drizzle ORM for type-safe database interactions.
• Cloud Integration: File uploads implemented securely via MinIO and presigned URLs.

🚀 Key Highlights

This project was built as a demostration to:

• Implement type-safe, scalable solutions using Server Actions and next-safe-actions.
• Create reliable and reusable validation layers with Zod.
• Manage complex relational data using Drizzle ORM with an SQLite backend.
• Build aesthetic and responsive user interfaces using ShadCN.
• Follow best practices for coding, architecture, and UI/UX design.
