This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Development Mode Auto-Login

When running in development mode (npm run dev), the application will automatically log in with a random user account for faster testing and development. The system randomly selects between these sample accounts:

• Admin: admin@example.com / admin123
• Consumer: user@example.com / user123
• Farmer: farmer@example.com / farmer123

If you're already logged in (have an existing auth token), the auto-login will be skipped. To test with a different user, clear your localStorage first or use an incognito/private browser window.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel.
