How does video hosting work?

Videos can be uploaded directly (stored on S3 or Cloudflare R2) or linked from an external source (YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny.net). The player tracks watch percentage and marks lessons complete when the threshold is met.

How are completion certificates generated?

When a student completes all required lessons and passes any required quizzes, the system auto-generates a personalized PDF certificate with their name, course title, completion date, and a unique verification code.

How do discussion forums work?

Each course and module has its own forum thread. Students post questions and replies. Instructors are notified of new posts and can pin best answers. Forum activity counts toward engagement metrics.

Build a Learning Management System (LMS) with AI - in Hours

ProjectCode generates a complete, production-ready Learning Management System (LMS) from a single natural language prompt. In hours instead of months, you get a React frontend, NestJS REST API, PostgreSQL database, and authentication - fully integrated, live-previewed, and deployed to a URL you own.

Estimated build time: 2–4 hours

The Challenge

Why building a LMS from scratch is hard

Building a Learning Management System (LMS) from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing lms-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your LMS needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready LMS with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Course creation with modules, lessons, quizzes, and assignments

Student enrollment management with batch support

Video streaming with progress tracking

Live class integration with Zoom or Google Meet

Discussion forums per course and module

Certificate of completion auto-generation

Mobile-responsive student learning interface

Instructor analytics: completion rate, quiz scores, engagement time

Architecture

How it's built

The generated LMS follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for lms workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated lms modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all lms entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live lms status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for LMS

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

courses (id, title, slug, description, instructor_id, category_id, status, price, thumbnail_url, published_at)
enrollments (id, course_id, student_id, enrolled_at, completed_at, progress_pct, certificate_url)
lessons (id, module_id, title, type, content_url, duration, order, is_preview, quiz jsonb)
submissions (id, student_id, lesson_id, type, content_url, grade, feedback, submitted_at, graded_at)
