Welcome to StockY, this full-stack, single-page app inspired by the popular e-commerce marketplace StockX. Enables trading of authentic sneakers, clothes, accessories, NFTs, and more. It allows users to create an account or sign in, list/remove products under their profile and upload images, also add, update or remove items from their shopping cart, as well as search for products.

Logged-in users can create and list new items for sale under their profile, items could be sneakers, clothes, accessories, NFTs plus more. Users will be then able to view or delete their listing products.
Shoppers can see listed products, see each product's details and make a transaction.

Users are able to add/remove products to the shopping cart, update item quantity, and checkout.
The cart is stored in the Redux state and in local storage to persist it across a page refresh. In case the website refreshes, the cart data will be loaded from the client's local storage.

The search bar will filter and render products based on the keywords that are typed into the search input.

When navigating inside this app, to a different component, it is keeping the scroll position from the last navigation. So it won't scroll to top automatically.
To solve this problem, I have implemented a ScrollToTop component that will scroll the window up on every navigation :

class ScrollToTop extends Component {
   componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
      if (this.props.location !== prevProps.location) {
         window.scrollTo(0, 0)
      }
   }

   render() {
      return this.props.children
   }
}

Then render it at the top of my app, but below Router as follows :

<Provider store={store}>
  <HashRouter>
    <ScrollToTop>
      <App />
    </ScrollToTop>
  </HashRouter>
</Provider>
