Creating a website with frontend, backend, and a database involves multiple steps and technologies.
Given the complexity of your requirements (showing agency details, enabling booking, and integrating a
payment gateway), I'll provide you with a simplified example using popular technologies: HTML, CSS,
JavaScript for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and MongoDB for the database. We'll also use a
simple payment gateway mock for testing purposes.
### Step 1: Set up the project structure
Create a new project folder and organize it like this:
```
travel-agency-website/
|-- frontend/
| |-- index.html
| |-- style.css
| |-- script.js
|-- backend/
| |-- server.js
|-- package.json
```
### Step 2: Frontend
#### `frontend/index.html`
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Travel Agency</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Travel Agency</h1>
<!-- Your HTML content for agency details, booking form, etc. -->
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
#### `frontend/style.css`
```css
/* Your CSS styles go here */
```
#### `frontend/script.js`
```js
// Your JavaScript code for handling user interactions goes here
```
### Step 3: Backend
#### `backend/server.js`
```javascript
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
app.use(bodyParser.json());
// Your backend routes for handling agency details, booking, etc. go here
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});
```
### Step 4: Database
For simplicity, let's use MongoDB as a database.
#### Install MongoDB
Follow the official guide to install MongoDB: [MongoDB
Installation](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/)
#### Connect to MongoDB in your `backend/server.js`
```javascript
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/travel-agency', { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology:
true });
// Define MongoDB schemas and models for your data
// Example:
// const agencySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
// name: String,
// // ... other fields
// });
// const Agency = mongoose.model('Agency', agencySchema);
```
### Step 5: Payment Gateway (Mock)
For simplicity, you can create a mock payment gateway using a simple API endpoint on your backend.
#### Modify `backend/server.js`
```javascript
app.post('/payment', (req, res) => {
// Handle payment logic here (e.g., validate payment details, charge the user)
// For simplicity, assume all payments are successful
res.json({ success: true, message: 'Payment successful' });
});
```
### Step 6: Running the Application
1. Install Node.js and npm: [Node.js Download](https://nodejs.org/)
2. Install dependencies: In your project folder, run `npm init -y` and then `npm install express body-
parser mongoose`.
3. Run your backend: In the `backend` folder, run `node server.js`.
4. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to see your frontend.
### Step 7: Testing
You can use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test your backend API endpoints. For the payment
gateway mock, you can simulate a successful payment by sending a POST request to
`http://localhost:3000/payment`.
Note: This is a simplified example, and a production-ready application would require additional security
measures, error handling, and a more robust database schema. Additionally, integrating a real payment
gateway involves more complex procedures and security considerations.
