# xBid — VFX Quoting & Bidding SaaS

A professional full-stack VFX quoting application built with **Next.js 15**, **TypeScript**, **Tailwind CSS v4**, **Prisma ORM**, and **PostgreSQL**.

---

## Features

- **Clients** — manage client companies with full contact and billing info
- **Jobs / Quotes** — versioned quote documents with status workflow (Draft ? Sent ? Approved/Rejected)
- **Shots** — VFX shot breakdown with complexity multipliers and drag-and-drop reordering
- **Assets** — CG asset budget tracking (characters, environments, vehicles, etc.)
- **Line Items** — per-task cost rows with hours/days/artists/rates, markup, discount, tax
- **Rate Cards** — studio rate card library organized by department
- **PDF Export** — professional quote PDF with front page + detailed appendix
- **Decimal Precision** — all financials use `decimal.js` (no floating-point drift)
- **REST API** - create and manage quotes, shots, assets and tasks programmatically ([API.md](API.md))

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 20+
- PostgreSQL 16 (or Docker)
- npm 10+
- `ts-node` for seeding: `npm install -g ts-node typescript`

---

## Quick Start

### 1. Clone & install

```bash
git clone <repo-url>
cd xBid
npm install
```

### 2. Configure environment

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `.env`:

```env
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/xbid"
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-random-secret-here"
NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000"
```

### 3. Start PostgreSQL

**Option A — Docker (recommended):**

```bash
docker compose up -d postgres
```

**Option B — local PostgreSQL:**

```sql
CREATE DATABASE xbid;
```

### 4. Run database migrations

```bash
npm run db:generate   # generate Prisma client
npm run db:migrate    # run migrations (enter "init" as migration name)
```

### 5. Seed sample data

```bash
npm run db:seed
```

This creates 15 rate cards, 2 sample clients, 2 jobs with shots, assets, and line items.

### 6. Start development server

```bash
npm run dev
```

Open http://localhost:3000

---

## Production (Docker)

```bash
docker compose up --build -d
```

After first run, apply migrations:

```bash
docker compose exec app npx prisma migrate deploy
docker compose exec app npx prisma db seed
```

---

## PDF Export

Navigate to any job and click **Download PDF**. The route at `/api/pdf/[id]` generates HTML with:
- **Front page**: client info, project details, shot/asset summary, financial totals, T&C
- **Appendix**: full per-shot and per-asset line item breakdown

Print to PDF via browser (Ctrl+P ? Save as PDF).

---

## REST API

xBid exposes a REST API at `/api/v1` so another system can create and manage
quotes, shots, assets and tasks without anyone opening the UI.

Requests authenticate with an API key, created under **Settings -> API Keys**
(admins only):

```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/v1 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $XBID_API_KEY"
```

That endpoint lists every available route and confirms what the key may do.
See **[API.md](API.md)** for the full reference: endpoints, pricing rules, shot
code generation and error codes.

Note: `GET_SHOTS.md` documents the opposite direction - the review app's API
that xBid pulls shots *from*.
