Introduction

This project serves as a learning tool for gaining a deeper understanding of React.js, focusing on concepts such as Higher-Order Components (HOC), and exploring state management using Redux Toolkit (RTK). It also offers an opportunity to implement Firebase Firestore for database management, Firebase Storage for file handling, and Firebase Authentication for user management. Additionally, I have implemented middleware concepts in Redux Toolkit (RTK) within this project to enhance the state management workflow and handle side effects.

Features

This project includes several key features that enhance the user experience and functionality:

• CRUD Operations for Blog Posts: Users can create, read, update, and delete blog posts seamlessly, allowing for dynamic content management.
• User Authentication and Authorization: Implemented secure login and registration processes, including a forgot password feature to facilitate account recovery. Ensured that only authorized users can access specific features, enhancing overall security.
• Admin Dashboard: An intuitive admin dashboard that allows administrators to manage users, blog posts, and site settings effectively.
• Like Blog Posts: Users can like blog posts, fostering engagement and interaction within the community.
• Infinite Scrolling: Users can scroll through blog posts without interruptions, as more content loads automatically as they reach the bottom of the page.
• Pagination: Pagination is applied specifically to the table of approved blog posts in the admin dashboard, making it easier to navigate through the content.
• Edit User Profile: Users can update their profile by editing their username, password, email, and profile picture, as well as verifying their email address.
