The BookStore project is a Django-based web application that allows users to browse books, add reviews, manage a shopping cart, and complete purchases. The project aims to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience for both customers and administrators.

The project uses a relational database (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) to store the following entities:

• User: Standard Django user model for authentication.
• Book: Stores information about books including title, author, description, price, and publication date.
• UserProfileInfo: Extends the user model to store additional profile information like portfolio site and profile picture.
• Review: Stores user reviews for books.
• CartItem: Stores items that users add to their shopping cart.

• User Registration and Authentication: Users can register, log in, and log out.
• Book Management: Users can add, edit, and delete books.
• Review System: Authenticated users can add reviews to books.
• Shopping Cart: Users can add books to a shopping cart and proceed to checkout.
• Search Functionality: Users can search for books by title, author, or keyword.

Users can register by providing a username, email, and password. Upon successful registration, users are redirected to the login page.

Registered users can log in using their username and password. Upon successful login, users are redirected to the home page.

Users can browse books listed on the home page. Each book detail page displays the book information and reviews.

Authenticated users can add reviews to books. The review form is available on each book detail page.

Users can add books to their shopping cart. The cart displays the selected books, their quantities, and the total price. Users can remove items from the cart or proceed to checkout.
