Property Rental Platform (LAND ME)

This project is a property rental platform developed using Next.js. It allows users to browse property listings, add properties to their cart, and manage bookings. The application combines coding, UI design, logical thinking, user interaction, and critical problem-solving skills.

Features

• Dynamic Property Listings: Users can view detailed information about properties on dynamic pages.
• User Management: Each user has a unique account to manage their bookings and cart.
• Shopping Cart: Users can add properties to their cart for later booking.
• Order Management: Upon booking, properties are moved from the cart to the orders model.

Models

The application uses the following models:

1. Property: Contains information about the properties, including:

   • Property ID
   • Name
   • Description
   • Price
   • Location
   • Images

2. User: Represents a user in the system, with fields like:

   • User ID
   • Name
   • Email
   • Password (hashed)

3. Cart: Maintains the list of properties that a user has added to their cart:

   • Cart ID
   • User ID (foreign key)
   • List of Product IDs (references to Property)

4. Orders: Keeps track of the properties that have been booked:

   • Order ID
   • User ID (foreign key)
   • List of Product IDs (references to Property)

How It Works

1. Viewing Properties: When a user clicks on a property, they are directed to a dynamic page that displays all relevant information about that property.

2. Adding to Cart: Users can add properties to their cart. This action creates an entry in the Cart model associated with the user ID and the list of product IDs.

3. Booking Properties: When a user decides to book a property from their cart, the application deletes the properties from the Cart model and creates an entry in the Orders model, reflecting the completed transaction.
