Tapard is a home listing application for home owners or agencies to list out apartments or available spaces for rent per night.

The application is built with next.js 13 utilizing the app router, tailwindCss for the styling and typescript. On the backend the application uses MongoDB hosted on MongoDB atlas as the database and prisma as the ORM and for querying of data. For user authentication, I've decided to go with Next-Auth enabling sign-in with google or using email and password credentials. For apartment booking, I've integrated paystack as a secure means for payment, a user can pay with card or bank transfer. The application is hosted on vercel. I used cypress for e2e testing to spped up application testing and make sure it works as expected.

Although I've completed the development of the application, there's a lot I can still do to improve the application, here are some of the plans I have for the application with more time to work on it.

The project uses Cypress, for e2e testing accounting for user sign in,listing reservation and successful payment. With time I could create more test cases.

When users make a reservation, they should get an email with the details of their booking.

Next.js provides some in-built features for caching but that can be extented by integrating redis as an in-memory data caching system.

Single property page where you can book the property.

This is the payment processing page using paystack.

After successful payment, you get a preview of all your listings.

To Get the project, you can simply fork the repo clone the project into your system by running
