Approach to create Real Estate Management Website using MERN
- Import Statements:
- Import necessary dependencies and components.

useState
anduseEffect

andAddProperty
are imported, assumed to be custom components.- Axios is imported for making HTTP requests.
- Functional Component:

Real Estate Management using MERN
In this article, we will guide you through the process of building a Real Estate Management Application using the MERN stack. MERN stands for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node. MongoDB will serve as our database, Express will handle the backend, React will create the frontend, and Node.js will be the runtime for our server.
Preview of final output: Let us have a look at how the final application will look like.
