# 🏕️ Explore Hut 🏕️
**Explore Hut** is a **full-stack** (**MERN**) **web application** inspired by **Airbnb**.
It allows users to explore travel _listings_, _post_ their own _stays_, leave _reviews_, and _manage bookings_ with all the _secure authentication_ and a clean, _responsive UI_.
## 🚀 Features
- 🔐 **User Authentication & Authorization**:
Secure Sign Up, Login, and Logout functionality for managing listings and reviews.
- ✍️ **CRUD Operations**:
Create, Read, Update, and Delete listings and reviews using RESTful APIs.
- 🛡️ **Data Security**:
Passwords are hashed and salted using secure authentication practices.
- 🍪 **Session & Cookie Management**:
Persistent login sessions for better user experience.
- 📷 **Cloudinary Integration**:
Image uploads with cloud storage and automatic resizing.
- 💬 **Flash Messages & Validation**:
Feedback alerts and form validation for better usability.
## 🧱 Project Architecture
The application follows the **MVC (Model-View-Controller)** pattern:
- **Models**: Models handle data logic and database schemas via Mongoose.
- **Views**: Views are rendered using EJS templates.
- **Controllers**: Controllers manage routes and business logic for modularity.
