Modern Institutional Marketplace Platform

I'll create a modern, customizable marketplace platform that can be used by different institutions while maintaining all the features of the original KSU Marketplace but with significant improvements in design, user experience, and customizability.

Implementation Guide

This guide will walk you through setting up and customizing the Institutional Marketplace platform for your specific needs.

Prerequisites
Getting Started
Customization
Database Setup
Authentication
Deployment
Advanced Features

Prerequisites

Node.js 18.x or later
Git
Basic knowledge of React and Next.js
A database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB)
Vercel account (for deployment)

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/institutional-marketplace.git
cd institutional-marketplace

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env.local file in the root directory:

# Database
DATABASE_URL="your-database-connection-string"

# Authentication
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-secret-key"
NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000"

# Storage (for product images)
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME="your-cloud-name"
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY="your-api-key"
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET="your-api-secret"

# Site Configuration
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_NAME="Your Institution Marketplace"
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL="https://your-domain.com"

4. Run the Development Server

npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:3000 to see your marketplace in action.

Customization

Site Configuration

The main configuration file is located at config/site.ts. This is where you can customize:

Site name and description
Navigation links
Categories
Announcements
Hero section content
Advertisement banners
Contact information
Sample products (for development)

Theming

The platform uses Tailwind CSS for styling with a customizable color scheme. You can modify the colors in app/globals.css and tailwind.config.ts.

The default theme uses an orange primary color, but you can change this to match your institution's branding:

Open app/globals.css
Modify the --primary HSL values in both the light and dark themes

Logo and Branding

Replace the default logo in the public directory
Update the favicon.ico file
Add your institution's images to the public/images directory

Database Setup

The platform is designed to work with Prisma ORM, which supports multiple databases.

1. Set Up Prisma

npm install @prisma/client prisma
npx prisma init

2. Define Your Schema

Create or modify prisma/schema.prisma:

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql" // or "mysql", "mongodb"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

model User {
  id            String    @id @default(cuid())
  name          String?
  email         String    @unique
  emailVerified DateTime?
  image         String?
  password      String?
  role          Role      @default(USER)
  createdAt     DateTime  @default(now())
  updatedAt     DateTime  @updatedAt
  products      Product[]
  orders        Order[]
}

model Product {
  id          String   @id @default(cuid())
  title       String
  description String
  price       Float
  images      String[]
  category    String
  featured    Boolean  @default(false)
  location    String?
  createdAt   DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt   DateTime @updatedAt
  userId      String
  user        User     @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  orderItems  OrderItem[]
}

model Order {
  id        String      @id @default(cuid())
  userId    String
  user      User        @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  items     OrderItem[]
  status    OrderStatus @default(PENDING)
  total     Float
  createdAt DateTime    @default(now())
  updatedAt DateTime    @updatedAt
}

model OrderItem {
  id        String  @id @default(cuid())
  orderId   String
  order     Order   @relation(fields: [orderId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  productId String
  product   Product @relation(fields: [productId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  quantity  Int
  price     Float
}

enum Role {
  USER
  ADMIN
}

enum OrderStatus {
  PENDING
  PROCESSING
  COMPLETED
  CANCELLED
}

3. Generate Prisma Client and Run Migrations

npx prisma migrate dev --name init

4. Create Database Service

Create a file lib/db.ts:

import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'

const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient }

export const prisma =
  globalForPrisma.prisma ||
  new PrismaClient({
    log: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? ['query', 'error', 'warn'] : ['error'],
  })

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') globalForPrisma.prisma = prisma

Authentication

The platform uses NextAuth.js for authentication.

1. Install NextAuth

npm install next-auth

2. Set Up Authentication API

Create app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts:

import { PrismaAdapter } from "@next-auth/prisma-adapter"
import { NextAuthOptions } from "next-auth"
import NextAuth from "next-auth/next"
import CredentialsProvider from "next-auth/providers/credentials"
import { compare } from "bcrypt"

import { prisma } from "@/lib/db"

export const authOptions: NextAuthOptions = {
  adapter: PrismaAdapter(prisma),
  secret: process.env.NEXTAUTH_SECRET,
  session: {
    strategy: "jwt",
  },
  pages: {
    signIn: "/login",
  },
  providers: [
    CredentialsProvider({
      name: "Credentials",
      credentials: {
        email: { label: "Email", type: "email" },
        password: { label: "Password", type: "password" },
      },
      async authorize(credentials) {
        if (!credentials?.email || !credentials?.password) {
          return null
        }

        const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
          where: {
            email: credentials.email,
          },
        })

        if (!user || !user.password) {
          return null
        }

        const isPasswordValid = await compare(credentials.password, user.password)

        if (!isPasswordValid) {
          return null
        }

        return {
          id: user.id,
          email: user.email,
          name: user.name,
          image: user.image,
          role: user.role,
        }
      },
    }),
  ],
  callbacks: {
    async session({ token, session }) {
      if (token) {
        session.user.id = token.id as string
        session.user.name = token.name
        session.user.email = token.email
        session.user.image = token.picture
        session.user.role = token.role as string
      }

      return session
    },
    async jwt({ token, user }) {
      const dbUser = await prisma.user.findFirst({
        where: {
          email: token.email as string,
        },
      })

      if (!dbUser) {
        if (user) {
          token.id = user.id
        }
        return token
      }

      return {
        id: dbUser.id,
        name: dbUser.name,
        email: dbUser.email,
        picture: dbUser.image,
        role: dbUser.role,
      }
    },
  },
}

const handler = NextAuth(authOptions)

export { handler as GET, handler as POST }

Advanced Features

Image Upload

For product image uploads, integrate with Cloudinary:

Install the Cloudinary SDK:

npm install cloudinary

Create a helper function in lib/cloudinary.ts:

import { v2 as cloudinary } from 'cloudinary'

cloudinary.config({
  cloud_name: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME,
  api_key: process.env.CLOUDINARY_API_KEY,
  api_secret: process.env.CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET,
})

export async function uploadImage(file: File) {
  const arrayBuffer = await file.arrayBuffer()
  const buffer = Buffer.from(arrayBuffer)
  
  const base64 = buffer.toString('base64')
  const dataURI = `data:${file.type};base64,${base64}`
  
  const result = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    cloudinary.uploader.upload(
      dataURI,
      {
        folder: 'marketplace',
      },
      (error, result) => {
        if (error) reject(error)
        else resolve(result)
      }
    )
  })
  
  return result as { secure_url: string }
}

Real-time Messaging

To add real-time messaging between buyers and sellers:

Install the required packages:

npm install pusher pusher-js

Set up Pusher in your environment variables:

PUSHER_APP_ID="your-app-id"
PUSHER_KEY="your-key"
PUSHER_SECRET="your-secret"
PUSHER_CLUSTER="your-cluster"

Create a Pusher client in lib/pusher.ts:

import Pusher from 'pusher'
import PusherClient from 'pusher-js'

export const pusher = new Pusher({
  appId: process.env.PUSHER_APP_ID!,
  key: process.env.PUSHER_KEY!,
  secret: process.env.PUSHER_SECRET!,
  cluster: process.env.PUSHER_CLUSTER!,
  useTLS: true,
})

export const pusherClient = new PusherClient(
  process.env.PUSHER_KEY!,
  {
    cluster: process.env.PUSHER_CLUSTER!,
  }
)

Analytics

To track user behavior and marketplace performance:

Install Google Analytics or a similar service
Add the tracking code to your app/layout.tsx file
Create custom events for important user actions like product views, cart additions, and purchases

Conclusion

You now have a fully functional, customizable institutional marketplace platform. This guide covers the basics of setting up and customizing the platform, but there's much more you can do to enhance it based on your specific needs.

Complete Institutional Marketplace Implementation

I'll now generate all the remaining pages for the marketplace platform and provide detailed instructions on how to link them together.

[V0_FILE]tsx:file="empty.tsx"
...

Detailed Instructions for Linking Pages

Now that we've created all the necessary pages for the institutional marketplace, here's how to link them together to create a fully functional application:

1. Navigation and Routing

The application uses Next.js App Router for navigation. All pages are automatically routed based on their file structure in the app directory. For example:

/app/products/page.tsx is accessible at /products
/app/account/orders/[id]/page.tsx is accessible at /account/orders/123 (where 123 is the order ID)

2. Main Navigation Links

The main navigation links are defined in the SiteConfig object in config/site.ts. These links are rendered in the SiteHeader component. To add or modify navigation links:

Edit the mainNav array in config/site.ts:

mainNav: [
  {
    title: "Home",
    href: "/",
  },
  {
    title: "Products",
    href: "/products",
  },
  // Add more navigation items here
]

The SiteHeader component automatically renders these links in both desktop and mobile views.

3. Authentication Flow

The authentication flow consists of:

Login page (/login)
Registration page (/register)
Forgot password page (/forgot-password)

To implement proper authentication:

Create an authentication context in a new file contexts/auth-context.tsx:

"use client"

import { createContext, useContext, useState, useEffect } from "react"
import { useRouter } from "next/navigation"

type User = {
  id: string
  name: string
  email: string
}

type AuthContextType = {
  user: User | null
  login: (email: string, password: string) => Promise<void>
  register: (name: string, email: string, password: string) => Promise<void>
  logout: () => void
  isLoading: boolean
}

const AuthContext = createContext<AuthContextType | undefined>(undefined)

export function AuthProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null)
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true)
  const router = useRouter()

  useEffect(() => {
    // Check if user is logged in (e.g., from localStorage or a cookie)
    const storedUser = localStorage.getItem("user")
    if (storedUser) {
      setUser(JSON.parse(storedUser))
    }
    setIsLoading(false)
  }, [])

  const login = async (email: string, password: string) => {
    setIsLoading(true)
    try {
      // In a real app, call your authentication API here
      // For demo purposes, we'll just simulate a successful login
      const user = { id: "1", name: "John Doe", email }
      localStorage.setItem("user", JSON.stringify(user))
      setUser(user)
      router.push("/")
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Login failed:", error)
      throw error
    } finally {
      setIsLoading(false)
    }
  }

  const register = async (name: string, email: string, password: string) => {
    setIsLoading(true)
    try {
      // In a real app, call your registration API here
      // For demo purposes, we'll just simulate a successful registration
      router.push("/login")
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Registration failed:", error)
      throw error
    } finally {
      setIsLoading(false)
    }
  }

  const logout = () => {
    localStorage.removeItem("user")
    setUser(null)
    router.push("/login")
  }

  return (
    <AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, login, register, logout, isLoading }}>
      {children}
    </AuthContext.Provider>
  )
}

export function useAuth() {
  const context = useContext(AuthContext)
  if (context === undefined) {
    throw new Error("useAuth must be used within an AuthProvider")
  }
  return context
}

Wrap your application with the AuthProvider in app/layout.tsx:

import { AuthProvider } from "@/contexts/auth-context"

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: Readonly<{
  children: React.ReactNode
}>) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
      <body className={inter.className}>
        <AuthProvider>
          <ThemeProvider attribute="class" defaultTheme="light" enableSystem disableTransitionOnChange>
            <div className="relative flex min-h-screen flex-col">
              <SiteHeader />
              <main className="flex-1">{children}</main>
              <SiteFooter />
            </div>
            <Toaster />
          </ThemeProvider>
        </AuthProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

Update the login and register forms to use the auth context:

// In login/page.tsx
"use client"

import { useState } from "react"
import { useAuth } from "@/contexts/auth-context"
// ...

export default function LoginPage() {
  const { login } = useAuth()
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false)
  const [email, setEmail] = useState("")
  const [password, setPassword] = useState("")

  const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
    e.preventDefault()
    setIsLoading(true)
    
    try {
      await login(email, password)
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error)
      setIsLoading(false)
    }
  }

  // Rest of the component...
}

4. Protected Routes

To protect routes that require authentication (like dashboard pages), create a middleware:

Create a new file middleware.ts in the root of your project:

import { NextResponse } from "next/server"
import type { NextRequest } from "next/server"

export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const path = request.nextUrl.pathname
  
  // Define which paths are protected (require authentication)
  const isProtectedPath = 
    path.startsWith("/dashboard") || 
    path.startsWith("/account") ||
    path === "/checkout"
  
  // Check if the user is authenticated (has a session token)
  const token = request.cookies.get("auth-token")?.value
  
  // If trying to access a protected route without authentication
  if (isProtectedPath && !token) {
    // Redirect to login page
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/login", request.url))
  }
  
  // If trying to access auth pages while already logged in
  if ((path === "/login" || path === "/register") && token) {
    // Redirect to dashboard
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/dashboard", request.url))
  }
  
  return NextResponse.next()
}

// Configure which paths should be processed by this middleware
export const config = {
  matcher: [
    "/dashboard/:path*", 
    "/account/:path*", 
    "/checkout",
    "/login",
    "/register"
  ],
}

5. Cart Functionality

To implement cart functionality:

Create a cart context in a new file contexts/cart-context.tsx:

"use client"

import { createContext, useContext, useState, useEffect } from "react"

type CartItem = {
  id: string
  title: string
  price: number
  image: string
  quantity: number
}

type CartContextType = {
  items: CartItem[]
  addItem: (item: Omit<CartItem, "quantity">) => void
  removeItem: (id: string) => void
  updateQuantity: (id: string, quantity: number) => void
  clearCart: () => void
  itemCount: number
  subtotal: number
}

const CartContext = createContext<CartContextType | undefined>(undefined)

export function CartProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [items, setItems] = useState<CartItem[]>([])
  
  // Load cart from localStorage on initial render
  useEffect(() => {
    const storedCart = localStorage.getItem("cart")
    if (storedCart) {
      setItems(JSON.parse(storedCart))
    }
  }, [])
  
  // Save cart to localStorage whenever it changes
  useEffect(() => {
    localStorage.setItem("cart", JSON.stringify(items))
  }, [items])
  
  const addItem = (item: Omit<CartItem, "quantity">) => {
    setItems((prevItems) => {
      const existingItem = prevItems.find((i) => i.id === item.id)
      if (existingItem) {
        return prevItems.map((i) =>
          i.id === item.id ? { ...i, quantity: i.quantity + 1 } : i
        )
      }
      return [...prevItems, { ...item, quantity: 1 }]
    })
  }
  
  const removeItem = (id: string) => {
    setItems((prevItems) => prevItems.filter((item) => item.id !== id))
  }
  
  const updateQuantity = (id: string, quantity: number) => {
    if (quantity < 1) return
    setItems((prevItems) =>
      prevItems.map((item) => (item.id === id ? { ...item, quantity } : item))
    )
  }
  
  const clearCart = () => {
    setItems([])
  }
  
  const itemCount = items.reduce((count, item) => count + item.quantity, 0)
  
  const subtotal = items.reduce(
    (total, item) => total + item.price * item.quantity,
    0
  )
  
  return (
    <CartContext.Provider
      value={{
        items,
        addItem,
        removeItem,
        updateQuantity,
        clearCart,
        itemCount,
        subtotal,
      }}
    >
      {children}
    </CartContext.Provider>
  )
}

export function useCart() {
  const context = useContext(CartContext)
  if (context === undefined) {
    throw new Error("useCart must be used within a CartProvider")
  }
  return context
}

Add the CartProvider to your layout:

import { AuthProvider } from "@/contexts/auth-context"
import { CartProvider } from "@/contexts/cart-context"

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: Readonly<{
  children: React.ReactNode
}>) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
      <body className={inter.className}>
        <AuthProvider>
          <CartProvider>
            <ThemeProvider attribute="class" defaultTheme="light" enableSystem disableTransitionOnChange>
              <div className="relative flex min-h-screen flex-col">
                <SiteHeader />
                <main className="flex-1">{children}</main>
                <SiteFooter />
              </div>
              <Toaster />
            </ThemeProvider>
          </CartProvider>
        </AuthProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

Update the ProductCard component to use the cart context:

"use client"

import { useCart } from "@/contexts/cart-context"
// ...

export function ProductCard({ product }: ProductCardProps) {
  const { addItem } = useCart()
  
  const handleAddToCart = () => {
    addItem({
      id: product.id,
      title: product.title,
      price: product.price,
      image: product.image,
    })
  }
  
  return (
    <Card className="overflow-hidden transition-all hover:shadow-md">
      {/* ... */}
      <CardFooter className="p-4 pt-0">
        <Button className="w-full" size="sm" onClick={handleAddToCart}>
          <ShoppingCart className="mr-2 h-4 w-4" />
          Add to Cart
        </Button>
      </CardFooter>
    </Card>
  )
}

Update the SiteHeader component to show the cart count:

"use client"

import { useCart } from "@/contexts/cart-context"
// ...

export function SiteHeader() {
  const { itemCount } = useCart()
  // ...
  
  return (
    <header className="sticky top-0 z-40 w-full border-b bg-background">
      {/* ... */}
      <Button variant="ghost" size="icon" asChild>
        <Link href="/cart">
          <div className="relative">
            <ShoppingCart className="h-5 w-5" />
            {itemCount > 0 && (
              <span className="absolute -right-2 -top-2 flex h-5 w-5 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary text-xs text-primary-foreground">
                {itemCount}
              </span>
            )}
          </div>
          <span className="sr-only">Cart</span>
        </Link>
      </Button>
      {/* ... */}
    </header>
  )
}

6. Search Functionality

To implement search functionality:

Update the SiteHeader component to handle search:

"use client"

import { useState } from "react"
import { useRouter } from "next/navigation"
// ...

export function SiteHeader() {
  const router = useRouter()
  const [isSearchOpen, setIsSearchOpen] = useState(false)
  const [searchQuery, setSearchQuery] = useState("")
  
  const handleSearch = (e: React.FormEvent) => {
    e.preventDefault()
    if (searchQuery.trim()) {
      router.push(`/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(searchQuery.trim())}`)
      setIsSearchOpen(false)
      setSearchQuery("")
    }
  }
  
  return (
    <header className="sticky top-0 z-40 w-full border-b bg-background">
      {/* ... */}
      {isSearchOpen ? (
        <form onSubmit={handleSearch} className="relative flex-1 md:w-80">
          <Search className="absolute left-2.5 top-2.5 h-4 w-4 text-muted-foreground" />
          <Input
            type="search"
            placeholder="Search products..."
            className="w-full rounded-md bg-background pl-8 md:w-80"
            autoFocus
            value={searchQuery}
            onChange={(e) => setSearchQuery(e.target.value)}
            onBlur={() => !searchQuery && setIsSearchOpen(false)}
          />
        </form>
      ) : (
        <Button variant="ghost" size="icon" onClick={() => setIsSearchOpen(true)}>
          <Search className="h-5 w-5" />
          <span className="sr-only">Search</span>
        </Button>
      )}
      {/* ... */}
    </header>
  )
}

7. Database Integration

For a fully functional application, you'll need to integrate with a database. Here's how to set up Prisma with a database:

Install Prisma:

npm install prisma @prisma/client
npx prisma init

Define your database schema in prisma/schema.prisma:

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql" // or "mysql", "sqlite", etc.
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

model User {
  id            String    @id @default(cuid())
  name          String
  email         String    @unique
  password      String
  createdAt     DateTime  @default(now())
  updatedAt     DateTime  @updatedAt
  products      Product[]
  orders        Order[]
}

model Product {
  id          String    @id @default(cuid())
  title       String
  description String
  price       Float
  category    String
  location    String?
  featured    Boolean   @default(false)
  date        DateTime  @default(now())
  images      Image[]
  userId      String
  user        User      @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
  orderItems  OrderItem[]
}

model Image {
  id        String   @id @default(cuid())
  url       String
  productId String
  product   Product  @relation(fields: [productId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
}

model Order {
  id              String      @id @default(cuid())
  userId          String
  user            User        @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
  status          String      @default("pending")
  total           Float
  shippingAddress Json
  paymentMethod   String
  paymentDetails  Json?
  createdAt       DateTime    @default(now())
  updatedAt       DateTime    @updatedAt
  items           OrderItem[]
}

model OrderItem {
  id        String  @id @default(cuid())
  orderId   String
  order     Order   @relation(fields: [orderId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  productId String
  product   Product @relation(fields: [productId], references: [id])
  quantity  Int
  price     Float
}

Create a database client in lib/db.ts:

import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client"

const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient }

export const prisma =
  globalForPrisma.prisma ||
  new PrismaClient({
    log: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" ? ["query", "error", "warn"] : ["error"],
  })

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") globalForPrisma.prisma = prisma

Create API routes for CRUD operations in app/api directory.

8. Deployment

To deploy your application:

Create a .env file with your environment variables:

DATABASE_URL="your-database-connection-string"
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-secret-key"
NEXTAUTH_URL="your-app-url"

Build your application:

npm run build

Deploy to Vercel:

vercel

9. Additional Features to Implement

Real-time messaging: Implement WebSockets for real-time chat between buyers and sellers.
Image uploads: Use a service like Cloudinary or AWS S3 for product image uploads.
Payment integration: Integrate with payment gateways like M-Pesa, PayPal, or Stripe.
Email notifications: Send email notifications for order updates, new messages, etc.
Analytics: Track user behavior and sales metrics.

By following these instructions, you'll have a fully functional institutional marketplace platform with all the necessary pages linked together. The application will support user authentication, product listings, shopping cart functionality, order management, and more.

NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL="https://your-domain.com"

4. Run the Development Server

npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:3000 to see your marketplace in action.

Customization

Site Configuration

The main configuration file is located at config/site.ts. This is where you can customize:

Site name and description
Navigation links
Categories
Announcements
Hero section content
Advertisement banners
Contact information
Sample products (for development)

Theming

The platform uses Tailwind CSS for styling with a customizable color scheme. You can modify the colors in app/globals.css and tailwind.config.ts.

The default theme uses an orange primary color, but you can change this to match your institution's branding:

Open app/globals.css
Modify the --primary HSL values in both the light and dark themes

Logo and Branding

Replace the default logo in the public directory
Update the favicon.ico file
Add your institution's images to the public/images directory

Database Setup

The platform is designed to work with Prisma ORM, which supports multiple databases.

1. Set Up Prisma

npm install @prisma/client prisma
npx prisma init

2. Define Your Schema

Create or modify prisma/schema.prisma:

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql" // or "mysql", "mongodb"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

model User {
  id            String    @id @default(cuid())
  name          String?
  email         String    @unique
  emailVerified DateTime?
  image         String?
  password      String?
  role          Role      @default(USER)
  createdAt     DateTime  @default(now())
  updatedAt     DateTime  @updatedAt
  products      Product[]
  orders        Order[]
}

model Product {
  id          String   @id @default(cuid())
  title       String
  description String
  price       Float
  images      String[]
  category    String
  featured    Boolean  @default(false)

  userId    String
  user      User        @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  items     OrderItem[]
  status    OrderStatus @default(PENDING)
  total     Float
  createdAt DateTime    @default(now())
  updatedAt DateTime    @updatedAt
}

model OrderItem {
  id        String  @id @default(cuid())
  orderId   String
  order     Order   @relation(fields: [orderId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  productId String
  product   Product @relation(fields: [productId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  quantity  Int
  price     Float
}

enum Role {
  USER
  ADMIN
}

enum OrderStatus {
  PENDING
  PROCESSING
  COMPLETED
  CANCELLED
}

3. Generate Prisma Client and Run Migrations

npx prisma migrate dev --name init

4. Create Database Service

Create a file lib/db.ts:

import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'

const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient }

export const prisma =
  globalForPrisma.prisma ||
  new PrismaClient({
    log: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? ['query', 'error', 'warn'] : ['error'],
  })

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') globalForPrisma.prisma = prisma

Authentication

The platform uses NextAuth.js for authentication.

1. Install NextAuth

npm install next-auth

2. Set Up Authentication API

Create app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts:

import { PrismaAdapter } from "@next-auth/prisma-adapter"
import { NextAuthOptions } from "next-auth"
import NextAuth from "next-auth/next"
import CredentialsProvider from "next-auth/providers/credentials"
import { compare } from "bcrypt"

import { prisma } from "@/lib/db"

export const authOptions: NextAuthOptions = {
  adapter: PrismaAdapter(prisma),
  secret: process.env.NEXTAUTH_SECRET,
  session: {
    strategy: "jwt",
  },
  pages: {
    signIn: "/login",
  },
  providers: [
    CredentialsProvider({
      name: "Credentials",
      credentials: {
        email: { label: "Email", type: "email" },
        password: { label: "Password", type: "password" },
      },
      async authorize(credentials) {
        if (!credentials?.email || !credentials?.password) {
          return null
        }

        const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
          where: {
            email: credentials.email,
          },
        })

        if (!user || !user.password) {
          return null
        }

        const isPasswordValid = await compare(credentials.password, user.password)

        if (!isPasswordValid) {
          return null
        }

        return {
          id: user.id,
          email: user.email,
          name: user.name,
          image: user.image,
          role: user.role,
        }
      },
    }),
  ],
  callbacks: {
    async session({ token, session }) {
      if (token) {
        session.user.id = token.id as string
        session.user.name = token.name
        session.user.email = token.email
        session.user.image = token.picture
        session.user.role = token.role as string
      }

      return session
    },
    async jwt({ token, user }) {
      const dbUser = await prisma.user.findFirst({
        where: {
          email: token.email as string,
        },
      })

      if (!dbUser) {
        if (user) {
          token.id = user.id
        }
        return token
      }

      return {
        id: dbUser.id,
        name: dbUser.name,
        email: dbUser.email,
        picture: dbUser.image,
        role: dbUser.role,
      }
    },
  },
}

const handler = NextAuth(authOptions)

export { handler as GET, handler as POST }

Complete Institutional Marketplace Implementation

I'll now generate all the remaining pages for the marketplace platform and provide detailed instructions on how to link them together.

[V0_FILE]tsx:file="empty.tsx"
...

Detailed Instructions for Linking Pages

Now that we've created all the necessary pages for the institutional marketplace, here's how to link them together to create a fully functional application:

1. Navigation and Routing

The application uses Next.js App Router for navigation. All pages are automatically routed based on their file structure in the app directory. For example:

/app/products/page.tsx is accessible at /products
/app/account/orders/[id]/page.tsx is accessible at /account/orders/123 (where 123 is the order ID)

2. Main Navigation Links

The main navigation links are defined in the SiteConfig object in config/site.ts. These links are rendered in the SiteHeader component. To add or modify navigation links:

Edit the mainNav array in config/site.ts:

mainNav: [
  {
    title: "Home",
    href: "/",
  },
  {
    title: "Products",
    href: "/products",
  },
  // Add more navigation items here
]

The SiteHeader component automatically renders these links in both desktop and mobile views.

3. Authentication Flow

The authentication flow consists of:

Login page (/login)
Registration page (/register)
Forgot password page (/forgot-password)

To implement proper authentication:

Create an authentication context in a new file contexts/auth-context.tsx:

"use client"

import { createContext, useContext, useState, useEffect } from "react"
import { useRouter } from "next/navigation"

type User = {
  id: string
  name: string
  email: string
}

type AuthContextType = {
  user: User | null
  login: (email: string, password: string) => Promise<void>
  register: (name: string, email: string, password: string) => Promise<void>
  logout: () => void
  isLoading: boolean
}

const AuthContext = createContext<AuthContextType | undefined>(undefined)

export function AuthProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null)
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true)
  const router = useRouter()

  useEffect(() => {
    // Check if user is logged in (e.g., from localStorage or a cookie)
    const storedUser = localStorage.getItem("user")
    if (storedUser) {
      setUser(JSON.parse(storedUser))
    }
    setIsLoading(false)
  }, [])

  const login = async (email: string, password: string) => {
    setIsLoading(true)
    try {
      // In a real app, call your authentication API here
      // For demo purposes, we'll just simulate a successful login
      const user = { id: "1", name: "John Doe", email }
      localStorage.setItem("user", JSON.stringify(user))
      setUser(user)
      router.push("/")
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Login failed:", error)
      throw error
    } finally {
      setIsLoading(false)
    }
  }

  const register = async (name: string, email: string, password: string) => {
    setIsLoading(true)
    try {
      // In a real app, call your registration API here
      // For demo purposes, we'll just simulate a successful registration
      router.push("/login")
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Registration failed:", error)
      throw error
    } finally {
      setIsLoading(false)
    }
  }

  const logout = () => {
    localStorage.removeItem("user")
    setUser(null)
    router.push("/login")
  }

  return (
    <AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, login, register, logout, isLoading }}>
      {children}
    </AuthContext.Provider>
  )
}

export function useAuth() {
  const context = useContext(AuthContext)
  if (context === undefined) {
    throw new Error("useAuth must be used within an AuthProvider")
  }
  return context
}

Wrap your application with the AuthProvider in app/layout.tsx:

import { AuthProvider } from "@/contexts/auth-context"

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: Readonly<{
  children: React.ReactNode
}>) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
      <body className={inter.className}>
        <AuthProvider>
          <ThemeProvider attribute="class" defaultTheme="light" enableSystem disableTransitionOnChange>
            <div className="relative flex min-h-screen flex-col">
              <SiteHeader />
              <main className="flex-1">{children}</main>
              <SiteFooter />
            </div>
            <Toaster />
          </ThemeProvider>
        </AuthProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

Update the login and register forms to use the auth context:

// In login/page.tsx
"use client"

import { useState } from "react"
import { useAuth } from "@/contexts/auth-context"
// ...

export default function LoginPage() {
  const { login } = useAuth()
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false)
  const [email, setEmail] = useState("")
  const [password, setPassword] = useState("")

  const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
    e.preventDefault()
    setIsLoading(true)
    
    try {
      await login(email, password)
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error)
      setIsLoading(false)
    }
  }

  // Rest of the component...
}

4. Protected Routes

To protect routes that require authentication (like dashboard pages), create a middleware:

Create a new file middleware.ts in the root of your project:

import { NextResponse } from "next/server"
import type { NextRequest } from "next/server"

export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const path = request.nextUrl.pathname
  
  // Define which paths are protected (require authentication)
  const isProtectedPath = 
    path.startsWith("/dashboard") || 
    path.startsWith("/account") ||
    path === "/checkout"
  
  // Check if the user is authenticated (has a session token)
  const token = request.cookies.get("auth-token")?.value
  
  // If trying to access a protected route without authentication
  if (isProtectedPath && !token) {
    // Redirect to login page
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/login", request.url))
  }
  
  // If trying to access auth pages while already logged in
  if ((path === "/login" || path === "/register") && token) {
    // Redirect to dashboard
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/dashboard", request.url))
  }
  
  return NextResponse.next()
}

// Configure which paths should be processed by this middleware
export const config = {
  matcher: [
    "/dashboard/:path*", 
    "/account/:path*", 
    "/checkout",
    "/login",
    "/register"
  ],
}

5. Cart Functionality

To implement cart functionality:

Create a cart context in a new file contexts/cart-context.tsx:

"use client"

import { createContext, useContext, useState, useEffect } from "react"

type CartItem = {
  id: string
  title: string
  price: number
  image: string
  quantity: number
}

type CartContextType = {
  items: CartItem[]
  addItem: (item: Omit<CartItem, "quantity">) => void
  removeItem: (id: string) => void
  updateQuantity: (id: string, quantity: number) => void
  clearCart: () => void
  itemCount: number
  subtotal: number
}

const CartContext = createContext<CartContextType | undefined>(undefined)

export function CartProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [items, setItems] = useState<CartItem[]>([])
  
  // Load cart from localStorage on initial render
  useEffect(() => {
    const storedCart = localStorage.getItem("cart")
    if (storedCart) {
      setItems(JSON.parse(storedCart))
    }
  }, [])
  
  // Save cart to localStorage whenever it changes
  useEffect(() => {
    localStorage.setItem("cart", JSON.stringify(items))
  }, [items])
  
  const addItem = (item: Omit<CartItem, "quantity">) => {
    setItems((prevItems) => {
      const existingItem = prevItems.find((i) => i.id === item.id)
      if (existingItem) {
        return prevItems.map((i) =>
          i.id === item.id ? { ...i, quantity: i.quantity + 1 } : i
        )
      }
      return [...prevItems, { ...item, quantity: 1 }]
    })
  }
  
  const removeItem = (id: string) => {
    setItems((prevItems) => prevItems.filter((item) => item.id !== id))
  }
  
  const updateQuantity = (id: string, quantity: number) => {
    if (quantity < 1) return
    setItems((prevItems) =>
      prevItems.map((item) => (item.id === id ? { ...item, quantity } : item))
    )
  }
  
  const clearCart = () => {
    setItems([])
  }
  
  const itemCount = items.reduce((count, item) => count + item.quantity, 0)
  
  const subtotal = items.reduce(
    (total, item) => total + item.price * item.quantity,
    0
  )
  
  return (
    <CartContext.Provider
      value={{
        items,
        addItem,
        removeItem,
        updateQuantity,
        clearCart,
        itemCount,
        subtotal,
      }}
    >
      {children}
    </CartContext.Provider>
  )
}

export function useCart() {
  const context = useContext(CartContext)
  if (context === undefined) {
    throw new Error("useCart must be used within a CartProvider")
  }
  return context
}

Add the CartProvider to your layout:

import { AuthProvider } from "@/contexts/auth-context"
import { CartProvider } from "@/contexts/cart-context"

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: Readonly<{
  children: React.ReactNode
}>) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
      <body className={inter.className}>
        <AuthProvider>
          <CartProvider>
            <ThemeProvider attribute="class" defaultTheme="light" enableSystem disableTransitionOnChange>
              <div className="relative flex min-h-screen flex-col">
                <SiteHeader />
                <main className="flex-1">{children}</main>
                <SiteFooter />
              </div>
              <Toaster />
            </ThemeProvider>
          </CartProvider>
        </AuthProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

Update the ProductCard component to use the cart context:

"use client"

import { useCart } from "@/contexts/cart-context"
// ...

export function ProductCard({ product }: ProductCardProps) {
  const { addItem } = useCart()
  
  const handleAddToCart = () => {
    addItem({
      id: product.id,
      title: product.title,
      price: product.price,
      image: product.image,
    })
  }
  
  return (
    <Card className="overflow-hidden transition-all hover:shadow-md">
      {/* ... */}
      <CardFooter className="p-4 pt-0">
        <Button className="w-full" size="sm" onClick={handleAddToCart}>
          <ShoppingCart className="mr-2 h-4 w-4" />
          Add to Cart
        </Button>
      </CardFooter>
    </Card>
  )
}

Update the SiteHeader component to show the cart count:

"use client"

import { useCart } from "@/contexts/cart-context"
// ...

export function SiteHeader() {
  const { itemCount } = useCart()
  // ...
  
  return (
    <header className="sticky top-0 z-40 w-full border-b bg-background">
      {/* ... */}
      <Button variant="ghost" size="icon" asChild>
        <Link href="/cart">
          <div className="relative">
            <ShoppingCart className="h-5 w-5" />
            {itemCount > 0 && (
              <span className="absolute -right-2 -top-2 flex h-5 w-5 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary text-xs text-primary-foreground">
                {itemCount}
              </span>
            )}
          </div>
          <span className="sr-only">Cart</span>
        </Link>
      </Button>
      {/* ... */}
    </header>
  )
}

6. Search Functionality

To implement search functionality:

Update the SiteHeader component to handle search:

"use client"

import { useState } from "react"
import { useRouter } from "next/navigation"
// ...

export function SiteHeader() {
  const router = useRouter()
  const [isSearchOpen, setIsSearchOpen] = useState(false)
  const [searchQuery, setSearchQuery] = useState("")
  
  const handleSearch = (e: React.FormEvent) => {
    e.preventDefault()
    if (searchQuery.trim()) {
      router.push(`/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(searchQuery.trim())}`)
      setIsSearchOpen(false)
      setSearchQuery("")
    }
  }
  
  return (
    <header className="sticky top-0 z-40 w-full border-b bg-background">
      {/* ... */}
      {isSearchOpen ? (
        <form onSubmit={handleSearch} className="relative flex-1 md:w-80">
          <Search className="absolute left-2.5 top-2.5 h-4 w-4 text-muted-foreground" />
          <Input
            type="search"
            placeholder="Search products..."
            className="w-full rounded-md bg-background pl-8 md:w-80"
            autoFocus
            value={searchQuery}
            onChange={(e) => setSearchQuery(e.target.value)}
            onBlur={() => !searchQuery && setIsSearchOpen(false)}
          />
        </form>
      ) : (
        <Button variant="ghost" size="icon" onClick={() => setIsSearchOpen(true)}>
          <Search className="h-5 w-5" />
          <span className="sr-only">Search</span>
        </Button>
      )}
      {/* ... */}
    </header>
  )
}

7. Database Integration

For a fully functional application, you'll need to integrate with a database. Here's how to set up Prisma with a database:

Install Prisma:

npm install prisma @prisma/client
npx prisma init

Define your database schema in prisma/schema.prisma:

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql" // or "mysql", "sqlite", etc.
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

model User {
  id            String    @id @default(cuid())
  name          String
  email         String    @unique
  password      String
  createdAt     DateTime  @default(now())
  updatedAt     DateTime  @updatedAt
  products      Product[]
  orders        Order[]
}

model Product {
  id          String    @id @default(cuid())
  title       String
  description String
  price       Float
  category    String
  location    String?
  featured    Boolean   @default(false)
  date        DateTime  @default(now())
  images      Image[]
  userId      String
  user        User      @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
  orderItems  OrderItem[]
}

model Image {
  id        String   @id @default(cuid())
  url       String
  productId String
  product   Product  @relation(fields: [productId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
}

model Order {
  id              String      @id @default(cuid())
  userId          String
  user            User        @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
  status          String      @default("pending")
  total           Float
  shippingAddress Json
  paymentMethod   String
  paymentDetails  Json?
  createdAt       DateTime    @default(now())
  updatedAt       DateTime    @updatedAt
  items           OrderItem[]
}

model OrderItem {
  id        String  @id @default(cuid())
  orderId   String
  order     Order   @relation(fields: [orderId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  productId String
  product   Product @relation(fields: [productId], references: [id])
  quantity  Int
  price     Float
}

Create a database client in lib/db.ts:

import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client"

const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient }

export const prisma =
  globalForPrisma.prisma ||
  new PrismaClient({
    log: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" ? ["query", "error", "warn"] : ["error"],
  })

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") globalForPrisma.prisma = prisma

Create API routes for CRUD operations in app/api directory.

8. Deployment

To deploy your application:

Create a .env file with your environment variables:

DATABASE_URL="your-database-connection-string"
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-secret-key"
NEXTAUTH_URL="your-app-url"

Build your application:

npm run build

Deploy to Vercel:

vercel
