Car Rental App

This project is a car rental application inspired by Zoomcar. The frontend is built with React.js, and the backend is developed using .NET. It provides a seamless user experience for renting cars, managing bookings, and exploring available vehicles.

Features

• User Authentication: Secure login and registration for users and car owners.
• Car Listing: Browse available cars with filters for location, type, and availability.
• Booking System: Users can book cars, and owners can manage booking requests.
• Like Feature: Users can like their favorite cars, with interactive UI feedback.
• Date Selection: Integrated date picker for selecting rental dates.

Frontend

The frontend was developed using React.js and includes the following key features and tools:

• State Management: Managed using useState and Redux for global state.
• Side Effects Handling: Implemented using useEffect to fetch data and manage subscriptions.
• Routing: Managed navigation using React Router, including dynamic routes with useParams.
• Date Picker: Used react-date-picker for easy date selection.
• Responsive Design: Ensured a mobile-friendly UI that works on various devices.

Backend

The backend is developed using .NET following the MVC architecture:

• Models-Views-Controllers (MVC): Structured code into models, views, and controllers for maintainability.
• Database: Integrated MongoDB as the database for storing user data, car listings, and bookings.
• API Development: Built RESTful APIs to handle requests for user authentication, car data, and bookings.
