Design

The MVP was heavily inspired by this Figma design. Our MMP design is inpsired by Amazon/BestBuy single page design.

Getting Started

This is an example of how you go about setting up our project locally. To get a local copy up and run follow these simple example steps.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Git
• Stripe: Account, Secret & Publishable key
• Cloudinary: Account Secret Key & Product Images
• MongoDB Atlas: MongoDB Account & Secret Key

Installation

1. Clone the repo into the desired folder

   git clone https://github.com/kbventures/ecommerce.git

2. Go to cloned folder

   cd ecommerce

3. Install NPM packages into both client and server folders

   cd client
   npm install
   cd ../server
   npm install

4. Change client fetch URL from https://erenaissance-backend.vercel.app/api/products to your localhost or your provider http://localhost:4001/api/products;

   // client/src/contexts/Itemscontext.jsx
   
    useEffect(() => {
    const fetchItems = async () => {
      // change fetch to:
      ////  http://localhost:4001/api/products;
      const response = await fetch(
        `https://erenaissance-backend.vercel.app/api/products`
      )
      const json = await response.json();
      setItems(json);
    };
    fetchItems();

    // client/src/routes/Basket/index.jsx
   
    async function handleSubmit(e, basket) {
    e.preventDefault();
    // change fetch to:
    // http://localhost:4001/api/create-checkout-session
    const url = await fetch(
      "https://erenaissance-backend.vercel.app/api/create-checkout-session",;
      {
        method: "POST",
        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
        body: JSON.stringify(basket),
      }
    ).then((i) => i.json());
    window.location.href = url;
   }

5. Change Server URLS

   // server/src/app.ts
   
   
    app.post(
    '/api/create-checkout-session',
    async (req: Request<any, any, LineItem[], any>, res: Response) => {
    console.log(req.body);
    const products = req.body.map((e) => ({
    price: e.default_price?.id,
    quantity: 1,
    }));
   
    const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
      line_items: products,
      mode: 'payment',
      // Change to :
      // success_url: "http://localhost:8080/home",
      // cancel_url: "http://localhost:8080/",
      success_url: 'https://erenaissance-frontend.vercel.app/home',
      cancel_url: 'https://erenaissance-frontend.vercel.app/',
    });
   
    res.json(session.url);
   }

6. Add .env file inside server directory

MONGO_URI = YOUR_SECRET_KEY;
STRIPE_SECRET = YOUR_SECRET_KEY;
PUBLISHABLE_KEY = YOUR_SECRET_KEY;
SECRET = YOUR_SECRET_KEY;

Running

1. Start Client

   cd client
   npm run dev

2. Start Server

   cd ..
   cd server
   npm run dev

3. Go to http://localhost:8080/ if you wanna see client, or http://localhost:4001/api for server

What we have learned

As a team we learned to work continuously and asynchronously on designing, developing, testing, and deploying a full stack application with Stripe third party integration. We expanded our knowledge of React, Express.js, MongoDB, Node.js, Webpack, several deployment solutions, CI/CD, using Vercel's development preview branch, mono repos, automated testing, Typescript, documentation, linting, coordinating as a team, code reviews, CSS Modules, GitHub Primer's CSS design systems, communication, UX/UI design, Figma, and managing a project(Github project).

What issues have I faced and how I resolved them

Roadmap

• MVP
• [] MMP
  • Implement new Figma design
  • Improve accessibility, performance & SEO metrics
  • Automated testing
  • Move front end to Typescript
  • Client sign up
  • Client login, logout & authentication
  • Client dashboard features
  • Back services to support authentication and client routes

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).

Contributing

How Do I Contribute Using Git?

1. Clone the repository with this command if you don't have it:

   git clone https://github.com/kbventures/ecommerce.git

2. Run the following command to make sure you have the latest changes on the main branch

   git pull

3. Create a new feature branch with a descriptive name and only make your changes here. For example, to add this README documentation I would call this branch add-git-workflow.

   git checkout -b <your feature branch name>

4. Make as many changes as you need in your feature branch. You can use the following commands per commit message - or add the individual files instead of using the .

   git add .
   git status
   git commit -m <your commit message>

5. Once your feature is ready and you're ready to merge into the main branch first make sure to push your local branch changes to GitHub.

   git push --set-upstream origin <your feature branch name>

6. Go to https://github.com/kbventures/ecommerce/branches and you should see your newly pushed feature branch. Find and click the button, "New pull request", to request that your changes be "pulled" into the main branch.

7. When you click the button, complete the form required for each pull request and click "Create pull request".

8. In the top right corner, click "Reviewers" and add one person on the team as the Reviewer for the pull request.

9. Once the Reviewer has looked at your pull request and verified that everything is OK, they will merge your pull request into the main branch.

What if I have a Conflict?

1. From within your feature branch, fetch the latest changes from the main branch

   git fetch origin main

2. Rebase so that your feature branch history is stacked on top of the latest main branch history

   git rebase origin/main

3. Now resolve the conflicts manually in your code editor one at a time. Git will tell you which files have a conflict. Once you've resolved the conflicts run the following commands:

   git add .
   git rebase --continue

4. Write and save a commit message if all conflicts are resolved.

5. Push your rebased feature branch changes to GitHub's computers.

   git push -f origin <your feature branch name>

6. Go back to your pull request on Github your pull request should have no conflicts and you can merge into the main branch!

Also, don't forget the most important rule of rebasing:

NEVER REBASE ON A REMOTE BRANCH >

How Do I Write Good Commit Message?

Why do we care to write a good commit message? A well-crafted Git commit message is the best way to communicate context about a change to other developers working on that project, and indeed, to your future self.

A commit has two parts: a subject (max 50 characters) and a description. Use the following command to separate a subject from the description.

git commit -m "Subject" -m "Description..."

In each commit message:

1. Specify the type of commit in the subject. Example: Feat: create landing page.

   • feat: The new feature you're adding to a particular application
   • fix: A bug fix
   • style: Feature and updates related to styling
   • refactor: Refactoring a specific section of the codebase
   • test: Everything related to testing
   • docs: Everything related to documentation
   • chore: Regular code maintenance.

2. Separate the subject from the body

3. Remove whitespace errors

4. Remove unnecessary punctuation marks

5. Do not end the subject line with a period

6. Capitalize the subject line and each paragraph

7. Use the body to explain what changes you have made and why you made them.

8. Do not assume the reviewer understands what the original problem was, ensure you add it.

9. Do not think your code is self-explanatory

File Structure

We are grouping by feature as listed in React docs. See Grouping by features or routes

(back to top)

Linting

We are using ESLint with Airbnb rules, alongside Prettier to format code and follow modern standards when writing Javascript. In addition, we can minimize runtime errors.
