Visit https://shopspree-amz.herokuapp.com/ to see a working example of this app.
This is a shopping web application, similar to Amazon.com, that allows users to buy and post products online. The app is still a work in progress, but contains most of the important features of a shopping app. The next big task I plan on working on is making this website mobile friendly. However, in terms of style and functionality, in my opinion, this is a significant upgrade to my original ShopSpree website.
To download the files and use this app on your own computer, sign up to MongoDb, SendGrid, and Stripe to get your own passwords or API keys
Update MONGO_USER, MONGO_PASSWORD, and STRIPE_KEY with your own information in the following two files:
nodemon.json package.json under scripts>start (line 11)
In Controllers/auth.js, update the SendGrid API key (line 14)
In the Views/Shop/checkout.ejs file, update the Stripe data-key with your own data key (line 24)
