The SmartVillages web application is a major project done entirely independently as part of college studies. It was submitted as a final thesis and treated as such from the very beginning. From designing the application and all its functionalities to designing the database.

The purpose of the application is to allow sellers to add their homemade products to the "Marketplace", where customers can then place orders for them. Once the product is marked as delivered, the customer can rate and comment on it. The application also integrates real-time messaging between customers and sellers.

• Blazor - WebAssembly in ASP.NET Core
• Entity Framework Core for creating and migrating the database
• SignalR for sending real-time notifications and messages
• MudBlazor - Blazor Component Library for design
• Microsoft SQL Server for working with the database

The application includes a simple sign-in/registration process with email verification. Real-time messaging is integrated with read/unread options.

Create the database and run migrations by using Package Manager Console and executing the following command:

update-database

Then, insert the following data into the UserTypes table:

Also, insert a location of your choice into the Places table:

• To avoid manually entering data into the tables, a SQL file with prepared data for the database (Quick Start) should be created in the future.

Finally, run the application with the Server as the only Startup Project. This is because the Server project has a reference to the Client project, and they run on the same port. Then, register as either a user or a farmer following the instructions.
