Documentation

Overview of how the Church Bright API and admin app fit together. Your deployed site includes PHP endpoints under /api.

Authentication

Staff authenticate with JWT bearer tokens from POST /api/auth/login. Include Authorization: Bearer <token> on subsequent requests.

Core resources

Members, families, attendance, giving, events, groups — REST-style routes under /api/ as defined in api/routes/api.php.
Reports and uploads follow the same pattern.

Premium (Pro plan)

Modules include forms (with public POST embed), check-in, workflow tasks, pastoral notes, communication campaigns, facilities, and integration settings. Plan enforcement is applied server-side.

Environment

Configure database credentials and mail in api/.env. See your deployment guide for SMTP, Stripe keys, and optional Twilio for SMS.
