E-Shop Online
Looking to shop for your favorite electronics?
This project was an eCommerce personal project I built to gain firsthand experience using a MERN tech stack for frontend and backend practices.
The eCommerce site's data was built using a MongoDB database and Node.js/Express.js api routes. In cohesion with the frontend, there was JSON web tokens and HTTP-Only cookies utilized to provide authentication. The frontend was developed using React.js along with other apis and libraries such as bootstrap and PayPal API. The global state was managed using the Redux Toolkit.
Also it was my first project using TypeScript. I believe that TS's static type feature is extremely helpful in the development process.

This project was the first project where I learned how to handle client requests and manage database operations.
