Quran Encyclopedia

A comprehensive, multi-language web platform designed to serve diverse localized content, translations, and textual data for the Quran. Built on Laravel, the project handles complex relations between Suras, Ayas, and multilingual translations to deliver localized content efficiently to a global user base.

The Challenge & Architecture Shift

Originally, the platform was architected as a decoupled system consisting of two separate repositories: a frontend UI application and a standalone backend (this project) serving data strictly via REST APIs. While functional, the overhead of maintaining two separate codebases and synchronizing API payloads created unnecessary friction.

My Role & Contributions

To streamline development and improve delivery, the decision was made to consolidate the architecture into a single monolithic Laravel application. A new, dedicated UI was provided, and my primary responsibility was spearheading this integration.

Architecture Consolidation: Successfully migrated the decoupled frontend and backend into a cohesive, monolithic Laravel project.

Controller Implementation & Wiring: Designed and implemented entirely new view-serving controllers designed to replace the old pure-API approach. I wired the provided UI templates (Blade) directly to the application logic, ensuring that data hydration and view rendering were seamless.

Extensive Multi-Language Support: Architected the new views and controllers to heavily leverage the existing database-driven localization (handling dynamic languages, script directions, and multi-language content models.

Database & Routing Optimization: Ensured robust routing configurations (web.php vs. api.php) to transition the data consumption from headless clients to server-side rendered views while maintaining performance.
