RentWise 2.0 - Premium Real Estate Engine

RentWise is a Next.js 16 powered real-estate platform designed with robust Server Components, fluid Framer Motion micro-animations, and a highly secure Supabase backend. It features an automated data ingestion pipeline powered by Apify to scrape properties in real-time.

• Server-Side Rendered: app/properties/page.tsx directly queries the database server-side for blisteringly fast SEO and load times.
• Automated Data Pipeline: A built-in Node.js scraper script triggers an Apify Actor to scrape NoBroker listings and syncs them directly to the Supabase database.
• Secure Backend: Implements rigorous Row Level Security (RLS) policies on Supabase to ensure tenant/landlord data isolation and fix KYC document leaks.
• Fluid UI: Powered by Tailwind CSS and Framer Motion for a premium, investor-ready user experience.

npm install

Create a .env.local file in the root directory. Note: For production on your DigitalOcean Droplet, the droplet already has the full .env configured, so you do NOT need to set these manually on the droplet.

# Your actual Supabase URL
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
# Your actual Supabase ANON KEY
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=eyJhb...
# Your Mapbox Token (Optional for Maps)
NEXT_PUBLIC_MAPBOX_TOKEN=pk...
# Required ONLY for running the Apify sync script manually

npm run dev

The scraper uses your APIFY_API_TOKEN to completely automate property ingestion. We have integrated the cron scheduler directly into the Docker container.

1. When your Droplet starts the application via docker-compose up -d, the entrypoint.sh script automatically launches the cron scheduler in the background.
2. The cron scheduler (scripts/cron.ts) runs twice a day (6:00 AM and 6:00 PM IST).
3. It seamlessly executes both the MagicBricks scraper and the Apify NoBroker scraper using your existing .env credentials passed via docker-compose.yml.

There is absolutely nothing you need to manually schedule on your Droplet!

If you ever want to force a scrape immediately without waiting for the schedule, you can run this command on your droplet:

docker exec -it rentwise_next_app npm run scrape

Every push to main runs through .github/workflows/deploy.yml:

1. CI — npm run lint, npm run typecheck, npm run build (placeholder env; real values live only on the droplet).
2. Deploy — SSH into the droplet, git reset --hard origin/main, docker-compose up -d --build (no downtime down step).
3. Smoke — waits for /api/health, then runs the Playwright e2e suite against the live site. A failed smoke run flags the deploy red in GitHub.

Pull requests run the CI job only.

npm run test:e2e # against live droplet
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 npm run test:e2e # against local build

First-party analytics events (page views, signups, logins) are written to the analytics_events Supabase table (db/migrations/supabase_migration_phase11_analytics.sql — run it once in the Supabase SQL editor). Query analytics_daily_summary for daily uniques per event.
