Ecommerce-2020

This repository contains the code for a MERN based e-commerce webapp:

Prerequisites:

• Install Mongodb & Robo3T
• Install React

For the backend:

To get deeper insight of the Backend of our Project Ecommerce have a look at the following steps:

• Download the code folder from GitHub
• Create a .env file inside the backend folder having two variables - DATABASE & SECRET. Additionally, you can add "PORT" as well if you want to connect DB at some other port.
• Open cmd and go to the backend folder directory and run the "npm install" command
• Go to PowerShell and run command "mongod"
• Then "npm run". Below will appear on command prompt:

We'll see that the backend server is running at localhost:8000.

For testing in postman:

• Write the route: http://localhost:8000/api/ route (Here, the route has to be taken from routes folder.)

For the frontend:

• Firstly, go to Robo3T and connect to localhost:27017

• Now, open the command prompt for the frontend folder and run "npm install"
• Now, run "npm start"
• This will automatically start the deployment server Below screen will show up automatically:

• Click on the little arrow button in right corner
• Now, if not already registered then click on sign up and enter dummy details.
• Now, open Robo3T, on the left bar click on books and then on users as shown below:

• Edit and change the highlighted row's value i.e. "role" : 1. Since "1" is for admin.

• Now, go to deployment and sign in and below screen will show up. Here you can add things to the cart, create categories, delete them etc.
