React Native Bike Rental App

This project is part of the take-home assessment for the SWE role at Sirdab.

The app uses React Native, Expo, Clerk for authentication, and Firebase for backend services.

Features

• User Authentication: Integrated with Clerk for secure sign-up, sign-in, and user management.
• Bicycle Management: Managers can create, read, update, and delete bicycles.
• Booking System: Users can book bicycles based on availability, date, and preferences.
• Filtering: Users can filter bicycles based on model, color, location, and ratings.
• Role-based Access: The app supports different user roles, providing admin functionality for managers through Clerk publicMetaData.

Environmental Requirements

To ensure functionality, you need to configure several environment variables:

• EXPO_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY: Your Clerk publishable key.
• EXPO_PUBLIC_MANAGER_PASSWORD: A temporary solution to restricting admin sign up using a secret password.
• CLERK_SECRET_KEY: The secret key from Clerk used for server-side operations.
• FIREBASE_CONFIG: JSON configuration for Firebase, should include apiKey, authDomain, databaseUrl, projecteId, storageBucket, messagingSenderId, and appId.
• serviceAccountKey: Firebase service account credentials for performing secure Firebase operations.

• Performance Optimization: Optimize application for large datasets through sharding and pageinations
• Cleaning Up: Divide files into smaller components with some refactoring and possible abstractions
