<li>CSV export of all bookings</li>
<li>REST API endpoints under <code>/wp-json/nivaj-ah/v1/</code> for public booking actions</li>
<li>Works with guest visitors — no account required to book</li>
</ul>
<h4>Booking flow</h4>
<ol>
<li>Visitor selects a service from the list.</li>
<li>Visitor picks a date from the horizontal day strip (auto-advances past empty weeks).</li>
<li>Visitor picks a time slot, grouped by Morning / Afternoon / Evening.</li>
<li>Visitor fills in name, email, phone (optional), notes (optional), and any custom fields.</li>
<li>Booking is confirmed on screen and via email.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin stores personal data submitted by visitors when they book an appointment: name, email address, phone number (optional), any custom field values you have configured, IP address (transiently, for rate limiting), and the booking details themselves.</p>
<p>Emails are sent through your site’s mailer (<code>wp_mail()</code>) to the visitor’s email address and the administrator email configured in Settings. No data is sent to external services by default.</p>
<p>If the <strong>Webhook</strong> integration is enabled in Settings, booking events are POSTed to the URL you configure. Site administrators are responsible for ensuring that the destination complies with their privacy policy and applicable data protection law.</p>
<p>Booking records are retained until manually deleted or until the plugin is uninstalled via the Plugins screen, which drops all plugin tables and options.</p>
<h3>Development</h3>
<p>Source code: https://github.com/ajayrajbanshi/nivaj-appointment-hub</p>
<p>The compiled JavaScript and CSS files in <code>assets/build/</code> are generated from the human-readable source under <code>src/</code> (React/JSX components and SCSS) using <code>@wordpress/scripts</code> (webpack).</p>
<p>To build from source:</p>
<pre><code>npm install
npm run build
</code></pre>
<p>This produces <code>assets/build/admin-app.{js,css}</code>, <code>assets/build/booking-widget.{js,css}</code>, and <code>assets/build/block-editor.js</code> from <code>src/admin-app/</code>, <code>src/booking-widget/</code>, and <code>src/block-editor/</code> respectively. To produce the wordpress.org distribution zip, run <code>npm run package</code>.</p>
<p>No third-party libraries are bundled outside of <code>@wordpress/*</code> packages provided by WordPress core (<code>wp-element</code>, <code>wp-components</code>, <code>wp-i18n</code>, <code>wp-api-fetch</code>, <code>wp-blocks</code>, <code>wp-block-editor</code>).</p>
