Prerequisites:

Approach to Create Event Booking Application:

To Create Event Booking System with NextJS we will begin by setting up project and necessary dependencies.
We will be creating essential components like EventLists, AddEvent, BookedEvents etc.
We will utilize React's useState to manage event data and booking information. And useEffect to fetch dynamic data.
Use local storage to store booked events and booking details.
page.js: Renders EventList component.
EventList.js: Displays list of events, allows booking with local storage updates, shows toast notifications. Imports and renders Navbar.
Navbar.js: Renders navigation bar with links.
AddEvent.js: Lets users add new events via form, submits to local storage, displays toast notification for success. Imports and renders Navbar.
BookedEvents.js: Shows list of booked events from local storage. Imports and renders Navbar.

Steps to Create the Event Booking Application:

Step 1: Create a application of NextJS using the following command.

npx create-next-app event-booking-system

Step 2: Navigate to project directory

cd event-booking-system

Step 3: Install the necessary package in your project using the following command.

npm install bootstrap
npm install toastify

Project Structure:

The updated dependencies in package.json file will look like:

"dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "^5.3.3",
    "next": "14.1.3",
    "react": "^18",
    "react-dom": "^18",
    "react-toastify": "^10.0.5"
}

Example: Below are the components which describes the implementation Event Booking System

JavaScript

// page.js

import React from 'react'
import EventList from '@/Components/EventList.js';

const page = () => {
    return (
        <>

}

export default page
