King David / Test task - reservation app with next.js, react, redux, hooks, material ui. In educational purposes
## Overview
The King David project showcases an impressive car rental application built using the Next.js framework. It successfully combines user-friendly design with efficient functionality, making it an excellent choice for anyone in need of a seamless reservation experience. By utilizing Material UI for styling and Google API for address selection, this application streamlines the process of booking a car with clarity and ease.
The primary focus of this project is on creating a smooth, three-step reservation process that enhances usability while ensuring that essential requirements are met. The end result is a modern web application that not only looks great but also performs exceptionally well.
## Features

- **Three-Step Reservation Process**: Guides users through selecting check-in and check-out dates, picking an address, and reviewing their reservation details.
- **Dynamic Date Selection**: Checkout time must be after check-in, which is restricted to the next two hours, ensuring realistic booking scenarios.
- **Google Places Integration**: Utilizes Google API for address selection, improving user experience with accurate location options.
- **Reservation Summary Page**: Displays all critical reservation details alongside a Google map with a marked location, providing a clear overview.
- **Responsive Design**: Optimized for both desktop and mobile devices, allowing users to make reservations on any platform.
- **Local Development Setup**: Easy instructions for running the application on localhost, enabling developers to test and modify as needed.
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
Styled Components is a popular library for styling React components using CSS syntax. It allows you to write CSS in your JavaScript code, making it easier to create dynamic styles that are specific to each component.
material-ui adds classes to Tailwind CSS for all common UI components. Classes like btn, card, etc. This allows us to focus on important things instead of making basic elements for every project.
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
Formik is a popular form library for React that helps with form state management, validation, and submission handling. It provides a declarative approach to building forms with support for complex validation scenarios and easy integration with validation libraries like Yup.
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
Yup is a schema builder for runtime value parsing and validation. It provides a declarative way to define validation schemas with support for complex nested objects, array validation, and custom validation rules. Often used with Formik for form validation.
