Shopping Cart App

Setup

1. Install Node.js if you haven't already
2. Clone this repository
3. cd into the downloaded directory
4. cd into client and run npm install from the command line to install all dependencies
5. cd into server and run npm install from the command line to install all dependencies

DataBase Setup

1. Create mongoDB account - https://account.mongodb.com/account/register
2. Create AWS cluster
3. Go to collections and creat a new database (shopping_cart) for example
4. Under Security tab, click Database Access, and on the right add new database user. After you enter username and password, click add user at the bottom right corner.
5. Under Security tab, click Network Access, and whitelist your IP address.
6. Once your cluster is created, under Clusters tab, click connect and copy the connection string which will look something like this mongodb+srv://test123:<password>@cluster0-zamyu.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority. Instead of test123 there will be your username, and you will need to replace <password> with your password and test with the database name.
7. Finally, inside your project folder, cd into server, create new file .env and enter DB=<paste the string from above here>. It will look similar to this DB=mongodb+srv://test123:[email protected]/shopping_cart?retryWrites=true&w=majority.

Running the app

While in the server directory, run npm run dev to start the live server. The live server will watch for changes to files in the src directory and reload the page when they're changed.

Viewing Static Version of the App

While developing the app, you can take a look at the static pages that you'll eventually convert into a dynamic application. To do so, visit http://localhost:5000/ui in the browser. You are also encouraged to read and reuse the markup, classes and ids used in these static files in your components. They're located in the /server/public/ui folder.

Developing the app

The starting point of the application is the /client/src/index.js file. That's where the root component of the application - App - is rendered to the DOM. You can add new components to the /client/src/components folder and new test files to the /client/src/tests folder.

For the initial application data, you can start with the following list of products:

    id: 1,
    title: 'Amazon Kindle E-reader',
    quantity: 5,
    price: 79.99
  },

    quantity: 3,
    price: 649.99
  },
