Student & Parent App
A unified mobile experience for the entire family. Built with Flutter and synchronized via secure Laravel APIs.
1. Smart Login & Sibling Switcher
We prioritize convenience without sacrificing security. The app aggregates entire families into a single session.
- FaceID & Biometrics: Enable local hardware biometric authentication for one-tap login after the initial setup.
- Multi-Child Architecture: When a parent logs in, the API returns a merged array of all students matching their `guardian_email`. The UI allows instant context-switching between siblings without re-authenticating.
Real-Time Sync: The dashboard relies on Firebase Cloud
Messaging (FCM). When a teacher updates homework or marks attendance on the web portal, the App receives a
silent data payload in < 1 second.
2. Academic Core & Attendance
Keep track of the learning journey in real-time.
- Live Attendance Grid: The `AttendanceController` calculates a custom monthly calendar. It overlaps standard Present/Absent records with the `Event` table to accurately plot School Holidays and Late marks.
- Homework & Evaluation: Download attachments and upload completed work directly from the phone.
- Computer Based Tests (CBT): Take Online Exams directly in the app with an auto-timer and instant result generation.
- Study Center: Access the syllabus, download PDF materials, and stream Video lessons.
3. Instant Fee Payments
Zero friction payments integrated with global gateways.
- Fee Ledger Overview: Clear breakdown of Tuition, Transport, Hostel, and distinct fine structures.
- WebView Checkout: To bypass App Store tax restrictions, clicking "Pay Now" securely bridges the user to the web-based Stripe/Razorpay checkout portals initialized with their unique student token.
- Payment History: Download stamped PDF receipts for all past transactions.
4. Proactive Safety & GPS Maps
The app doesn't wait for you to check. It predicts and notifies.
- Live Bus Tracking: The `TransportController` API fetches the `VehicleTracking` record every 5 seconds. If the bus is active, parents see a live map plotting the exact coordinates and speed of the vehicle.
- Proximity Alerts: A Background Job dynamically calculates the distance between the moving bus and the child's assigned Stop. If it breaches the 500m radius, it fires a "Bus Arriving" push notification to the parent.
