👥 Basic Role Support
The system currently supports only fundamental user roles and functionalities, limiting advanced customization.
Important
Error:
- Duplicate appointment created for the same doctor and time slot.
Cause:
- Two booking requests were processed at the same time.
- The database did not enforce a unique rule on
(doctorId, date, timeSlot), allowing both entries.
Solution:
- Added a database-level unique constraint to prevent double-booking.
- Wrapped booking logic in a transaction to lock the time slot during save.
- Added server-side validation to reject conflicting appointments.
