DOCUMENTATION OF PROJECT

 Introduction:
Project name: Kora app

Goals:

Provide a user-friendly web application that allows users to easily generate

various types of cards and documents, such as poster cards, wedding invitations,
resumes, formal letters, informal letters, and birthday posters.

Scope:
-The application will be built as a web-based platform using React.js and Tailwind CSS.
-The focus will be on creating template-based cards and documents, allowing users to
customize the content within predefined layouts and designs.
-The application will support multiple card and document types, including poster cards,
wedding invitations, resumes, formal letters, informal letters, and birthday posters.
-Users will be able to enter their personal information and have it dynamically populate
the templates.
-The application will provide a real-time preview feature, allowing users to see the
generated output as they enter their information and make adjustments.
-Export functionality will be provided to allow users to save the generated cards and
documents in popular formats such as PDF or image files.
-The application will not handle online printing or delivery services but will focus on
generating the digital output for users to handle printing or distribution on their own.

Getting started:

Here are some key points to cover in this section:

1. Installation: Begin by explaining the steps required to install and set up the
application. Include any prerequisites, such as specific software or
dependencies that need to be installed beforehand.
2. Downloading the Project: Explain how users can obtain the project files. If
your project is hosted on a version control system like Git, provide the URL
and instructions for cloning the repository.

 3. Environment Setup: Provide guidance on setting up the necessary
development environment. This may involve installing specific software or
tools, such as a code editor or a local development server.
4. Configuration: If your project requires any configuration, such as setting up a
database connection or API keys, explain the necessary steps.
5. Building and Running: Detail the steps required to build and run the
application. This may involve running commands to install dependencies,
compiling code, or starting the development server.
6. Verification: Provide instructions for verifying that the installation was
successful.
7. Troubleshooting: Anticipate and address common issues that users may
encounter during the installation process.

Usage:

1. User Interface: Provide an overview of the user interface, highlighting the

main components and sections. Explain the purpose and functionality of each
component, such as buttons, forms, menus, or navigation elements.
2. Creating Cards/Documents: Explain the process of creating cards or
documents using your application. Describe the steps users need to follow,
such as selecting a card/document type, entering relevant information, and
customizing the design or layout. Provide clear instructions, including any
required input formats or constraints.
3. Customization Options: Detail the available customization options for each
card/document type. Explain how users can modify the design elements, such
as fonts, colors, backgrounds, or layouts. Provide examples or screenshots to
illustrate the different customization possibilities.
4. Real-time Preview: Explain how the real-time preview feature works. Describe
how users can see the changes they make to the card/document in real-time,
allowing them to visualize the final output. Highlight any interactive or
dynamic aspects of the preview, such as updating content based on user
input.
5. Saving and Exporting: Describe how users can save or export their created
cards/documents. Explain the available options for saving the output, such as
downloading as a file or saving to a user account. Provide instructions on how
to access and manage the saved or exported items.
6. Printing and Sharing: If applicable, explain how users can print or share their
created cards/documents. Provide guidance on printing settings, such as
paper size or resolution. Explain any recommended practices for sharing the

 output digitally, such as using specific file formats or optimizing for different
platforms.
7. Examples and Use Cases: Include examples or use cases that demonstrate
the versatility of your application. Show how users can create different types
of cards/documents for various scenarios, such as event invitations, marketing
materials, or personal announcements.
8. Tips and Best Practices: Offer tips and best practices to help users make the
most of your application.
Configuration:

Here are some key points to cover in this section:

1. Environment Variables: Describe any environment variables that can be used
for configuration. Explain how users can set these variables, either through the
command line, an environment file, or a dedicated configuration file. Provide
a list of the available environment variables and their descriptions.
2. Database Configuration: If your application uses a database, explain how
users can configure the connection details. This includes information such as
the database host, port, username, password, and database name. Provide
clear instructions on where and how to specify these configuration
parameters.
3. API Keys and Credentials: If your application integrates with external services
or APIs, explain how users can configure the necessary API keys or credentials.
4. Third-Party Integrations: If your application integrates with third-party
services or platforms, explain how users can configure those integrations.
Provide guidance on the required configuration parameters, such as
authentication tokens or API endpoints.

5. Localization and Internationalization: If your application supports multiple

languages or locales, explain how users can configure the desired language or
locale. Provide instructions on how to set the default language or allow users
to choose their preferred language.

6. Validation and Error Handling: Explain how your application validates and
handles configuration errors. Provide information on the expected format and
values for configuration parameters. Describe any error messages or logging
that occurs when invalid or missing configurations are encountered.

API Reference:

Here are some key points to cover in this section:

Written by Leon & Alice Page 3

 1. Endpoint Overview: Start with an overview of the API endpoints available in
your application. Provide a list of the endpoints, along with a brief description
of each one's purpose and functionality.
2. Endpoint Details: For each endpoint, provide detailed information, including
the URL, HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.), and any required
authentication or authorization.
3. Request Parameters: Explain the parameters that can be included in the
request for each endpoint. Include details such as the parameter name, data
type, whether it is required or optional, and any constraints or validation rules.
4. Request Body: If applicable, describe the structure and format of the request
body for endpoints that accept data in the request payload. Specify the
content type (e.g., JSON, XML) and provide examples of the expected request
body payload.
5. Response Format: Describe the format of the API response, such as JSON or
XML. Explain the structure of the response object and the meaning of each
field. Provide examples of both successful and error responses.
6. Response Codes: Explain the different HTTP status codes that can be returned
by your API and their meanings. Provide a list of the most common status
codes, such as 200 (OK), 201 (Created), 400 (Bad Request), and 500 (Internal
Server Error), along with their descriptions.
7. Error Handling: Describe how errors are communicated in the API responses.
Explain the error response format, including the structure of the error object
and the meaning of each field. Provide examples of error responses for
different scenarios.
8. Authentication and Authorization: If your API requires authentication or
authorization, explain the mechanisms and workflows involved. Describe how
developers can obtain authentication credentials (e.g., API keys, OAuth
tokens), how to include them in the requests, and the expected behavior when
authentication fails.
9. Rate Limiting: If your API has rate limiting or throttling mechanisms, explain how
they work. Specify the rate limits for different API endpoints or user roles, and describe
the error responses that are returned when rate limits are exceeded
