EcommerceX is a fully-featured eCommerce platform built with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) that offers user authentication via JWT (JSON Web Token). This project demonstrates a scalable architecture with a modern frontend and secure backend to manage products, users, and orders.
- User Authentication: Secure authentication with JWT for both users and admin roles.
- Product Management: CRUD operations for products, including image uploads, descriptions, and pricing.
- Order Management: Users can place orders, track order history, and manage the shopping cart.
- Responsive Design: Optimized for mobile and desktop with a modern UI built using React.
- RESTful APIs: Efficient and scalable API design with Express.js and Node.js backend.
- MongoDB Integration: Robust data management with MongoDB for storing user information, products, and orders.
- Frontend: React.js with React Router for navigation and Redux for state management.
- Backend: Node.js and Express.js for RESTful APIs, with JWT-based authentication for securing routes.
- Database: MongoDB for scalable NoSQL data storage.
- Authentication: JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for user authentication and authorization.
The EcommerX application follows a client-server architecture with a separation of concerns between the frontend and backend.
-
Frontend:
- React.js handles the user interface with reusable components.
- React Router for navigation between pages like product listings, cart, and checkout.
- Redux is utilized for global state management across the application.
-
Backend:
- Node.js and Express.js manage API requests, handling CRUD operations for products, users, and orders.
- JWT authentication is implemented to secure API routes, with tokens issued at login and validated on each request.
- MongoDB is used as the database to store user information, product details, and order history.
