RentMatch — Property matching frontend using linear programming optimization for Nigeria's rental market. Built with Next.js and React. # RentMatch - Linear Programming Optimization for Property Matching A final year project implementing a linear programming optimization model for tenant-property matching in Nigeria's rental market. ## 🎯 Project Overview This system uses mathematical optimization (linear programming) to efficiently match tenants with properties based on multiple criteria including budget, location, amenities, and preferences. ## 🏗️ Architecture ### Frontend Structure \`\`\` src/ ├── components/ │ ├── ui/ # Reusable UI components │ ├── layout/ # Layout components (Header, Footer) │ ├── common/ # Common components (EmptyState, etc.) │ └── properties/ # Property-specific components ├── pages/ # Main page components ├── hooks/ # Custom React hooks ├── lib/ # Utilities and API functions └── app/ # Next.js app directory \`\`\` ### Backend Integration Points The frontend is designed to connect to your backend through the following API endpoints: #### Authentication Endpoints - `POST /api/auth/login` - User login - `POST /api/auth/register` - User registration - `POST /api/auth/logout` - User logout #### Properties Endpoints - `GET /api/properties` - Get all properties with filters - `GET /api/properties/:id` - Get specific property - `POST /api/properties` - Create new property - `PUT /api/properties/:id` - Update property - `DELETE /api/properties/:id` - Delete property #### Linear Programming Optimization Endpoints - `POST /api/optimization/linear-programming` - Run optimization algorithm - `GET /api/optimization/matches/:tenantId` - Get matches for tenant - `GET /api/optimization/stats` - Get optimization statistics #### Communication Endpoints - `POST /api/communication/send-message` - Send message between users - `POST /api/communication/schedule-viewing` - Schedule property viewing ## 🔧 Setup Instructions 1. **Install Dependencies** \`\`\`bash n …
