Creating an entire project from scratch is a substantial task, but I can provide you with a detailed outline and
some code snippets to help you get started. Here’s a step-by-step guide to building the "Travel Genie" project
in .NET:

Step 1: Set Up the Project

1. Create a new ASP.NET Core MVC project:

dotnet new mvc -n TravelGenie

cd TravelGenie

2. Add necessary NuGet packages:

dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer

dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer
dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json

Step 2: Define Models

Create models for the main entities in your application.

Models/User.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity;

public class User : IdentityUser

{
public string FullName { get; set; }
public List<Trip> Trips { get; set; }
}

Models/Trip.cs:

public class Trip

{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Destination { get; set; }
public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }
public string Notes { get; set; }
public User User { get; set; }
}

Step 3: Set Up Entity Framework Core

Data/ApplicationDbContext.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<User>

{
public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options)
: base(options)
{
}

public DbSet<Trip> Trips { get; set; }

}

Startup.cs:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)

{
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>

options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

services.AddDefaultIdentity<User>(options =>
options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true)
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>();

services.AddControllersWithViews();
services.AddRazorPages();
}

appsettings.json:

{
"ConnectionStrings": {
"DefaultConnection": "Server=
(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=TravelGenieDb;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleAct
iveResultSets=true"
},
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Microsoft": "Warning",
"Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
}
},

"AllowedHosts": "*"
}

Step 4: Create Controllers and Views

Controllers/HomeController.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

public class HomeController : Controller

{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}

Views/Home/Index.cshtml:

@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}

<div class="text-center">
<h1 class="display-4">Welcome to Travel Genie</h1>
<p>Plan your perfect trip with ease!</p>
</div>

Step 5: Add Authentication and Authorization

Controllers/AccountController.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class AccountController : Controller

{
private readonly UserManager<User> _userManager;
private readonly SignInManager<User> _signInManager;

public AccountController(UserManager<User> userManager, SignInManager<User>

signInManager)
{
_userManager = userManager;
_signInManager = signInManager;
}

[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Register()
{
return View();
}

[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new User { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email,
FullName = model.FullName };
var result = await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
await _signInManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
foreach (var error in result.Errors)
{
ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, error.Description);
}
}
return View(model);
}

[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Login()
{
return View();
}

[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Login(LoginViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var result = await _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(model.Email,
model.Password, model.RememberMe, lockoutOnFailure: false);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, "Invalid login attempt.");
}
return View(model);
}

[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Logout()
{
await _signInManager.SignOutAsync();

return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");

}
}

Views/Account/Register.cshtml:

@model RegisterViewModel

<form asp-action="Register">
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="FullName"></label>
<input asp-for="FullName" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="FullName" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Email"></label>
<input asp-for="Email" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Email" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Password"></label>
<input asp-for="Password" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Password" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="ConfirmPassword"></label>
<input asp-for="ConfirmPassword" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="ConfirmPassword" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Register</button>
</form>

Views/Account/Login.cshtml:

@model LoginViewModel

<form asp-action="Login">
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Email"></label>
<input asp-for="Email" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Email" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Password"></label>
<input asp-for="Password" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Password" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="form-check">

<input asp-for="RememberMe" class="form-check-input" />

<label asp-for="RememberMe" class="form-check-label"></label>
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Login</button>
</form>

Step 6: Implement Trip Management

Controllers/TripsController.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

[Authorize]
public class TripsController : Controller
{
private readonly ApplicationDbContext _context;

public TripsController(ApplicationDbContext context)

{
_context = context;
}

public async Task<IActionResult> Index()

{
var userId = User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
var trips = await _context.Trips.Where(t => t.User.Id ==
userId).ToListAsync();
return View(trips);
}

[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}

[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Create(Trip trip)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
trip.User = await
_context.Users.FindAsync(User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier));
_context.Trips.Add(trip);
await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));

}
return View(trip);
}

// Add Edit and Delete actions similarly

}

Views/Trips/Index.cshtml:

@model IEnumerable<Trip>

<h1>Your Trips</h1>

<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Destination</th>
<th>Start Date</th>
<th>End Date</th>
<th>Notes</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach (var trip in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>@trip.Destination</td>
<td>@trip.StartDate.ToShortDateString()</td>
<td>@trip.EndDate.ToShortDateString()</td>
<

td>@trip.Notes</td>
<td>
<a asp-action="Edit" asp-route-id="@trip.Id" class="btn btn-
primary">Edit</a>
<a asp-action="Delete" asp-route-id="@trip.Id" class="btn btn-
danger">Delete</a>
</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>

<a asp-action="Create" class="btn btn-success">Add New Trip</a>

Views/Trips/Create.cshtml:

ImplIdea.md 2024-07-07

@model Trip

<form asp-action="Create">
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Destination"></label>
<input asp-for="Destination" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Destination" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="StartDate"></label>
<input asp-for="StartDate" class="form-control" type="date" />
<span asp-validation-for="StartDate" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="EndDate"></label>
<input asp-for="EndDate" class="form-control" type="date" />
<span asp-validation-for="EndDate" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Notes"></label>
<textarea asp-for="Notes" class="form-control"></textarea>
<span asp-validation-for="Notes" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Create</button>
</form>

Step 7: Additional Features

You can add more advanced features such as:

Integration with travel APIs for real-time data.

Payment processing using services like Stripe or PayPal.
Notifications via email or SMS.
Mapping and location-based services using Google Maps API.

Step 8: Testing and Deployment

1. Unit and integration tests for your application.

2. Deploy your application to a cloud service like Azure or AWS.
3. Monitor and maintain your application.

This is a high-level overview and some starter code to get you going. Building a complete project will require
more detailed work, especially for advanced features and integrations. Feel free to ask for further details or
specific implementations!
