LearnTurn

A Flutter app to help students find suitable mentors based on skills, interests, and availability. Includes mentor/student profiles, matching, session booking, and feedback with reports. Now integrated with Firebase Firestore for real-time data persistence.

Features

• Mentor profiles: skills, experience, availability, contact
• Student profiles: interests, goals, desired skills
• Matching: suggests mentors for a selected student
• Session booking: create requests; approve/reject
• Feedback: leave ratings/comments; reports with average ratings per mentor
• Firebase Firestore: real-time database for persistent storage across sessions

Firebase Setup

1. Create a Firebase Project

• Go to Firebase Console
• Click "Create a project" and name it learnturn
• Enable Firestore Database in test mode (for development)

2. Generate Firebase Configuration

Run the FlutterFire CLI in your project root:

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
flutterfire configure

Select your Firebase project and platforms (e.g., Windows, Web). This generates lib/firebase_options.dart with your project credentials.

3. Update lib/firebase_options.dart

Replace the placeholder values in the generated file with your actual Firebase credentials:

static const FirebaseOptions web = FirebaseOptions(
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
  messagingSenderId: 'YOUR_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID',
  projectId: 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID',
  authDomain: 'YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN',
  storageBucket: 'YOUR_STORAGE_BUCKET',
);

4. Run the App

cd C:\Users\geeth\Desktop\LearnTurn
flutter pub get
flutter run

Database Schema (Firestore)

Collections auto-created on first use:

• mentors – mentor profiles
• students – student profiles
• sessions – booking requests and status
• feedbacks – session feedback and ratings

How It Works

1. On app start, HomeScreen loads data from Firestore
2. If empty, mock data (mentors/students) is seeded automatically
3. Sessions and feedbacks sync to Firestore in real-time
4. Reports aggregate feedback per mentor from Firestore

Troubleshooting

• Firebase not initializing: Check firebase_options.dart and ensure your credentials are correct
• Firestore permission denied: Use test mode rules during development; secure them before production
• FlutterFire CLI not found: Run dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli first
