A complete e-commerce platform using CRUD functions and connects the system to a database of MongoDB (Document database). Created a full-stack platform using JavaScript. The frontend was created using React and the backend was created using NodeJS, Express, MongoDB. Then I used Axios and Redux to link my backend with my frontend. I also used Postman to test my end points.

Programming Languages/Frameworks:

• JavaScript
• React
• Redux
• NodeJS
• Express
• MongoDB
• Postman
• Axios

1. Make sure you have these installed

   • NodeJS

   • MongoDB

   • Postman

2. Clone this repository into your local machine using the terminal

   > git clone https://github.com/mohamedmostafa13/e-commerce3.git
   

3. backend setup (DO NOT cd to backend) (running on port you decide)

   > npm install
   

4. frontend setup (running on port 3000)

   > cd frontend
   

   > npm install
   

5. Insert data into the MongoDB database

   • Start MongoDB server

     > mongod
     

   • Enter mongo shell

     > mongo
     

   • Insert data into the MongoDB database

     > npm run data:import
     

6. Rename .env-example to .env and set these values

    NODE_ENV = development
    PORT = <>
    MONGO_URI = <>
    JWT_SECRET = <>
    PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID = <>
   
   

7. Runs both frontend and backend (cd to ROOT of project)

   > npm run dev
   

Enjoy!
