White Light Vintage is an eCommerce site for my business built in ember.js and backed by Firebase; it will serve as my final project in Javascript at Epicodus. It is currently utilizing Paypal as a payment platform.

##Project Objectives

• Create an attractive eCommerce site in ember.js with a functioning payment platform
• Data is stored in and retrieved from Ember Data models and Firebase
• Components are used to create display and behavior for templates
• Implement user authentication
• Utilize computed properties, services, and helpers

##To Do

• Eventually replace current Paypal payment system
• Replace Bootstrap dropdown menu with a less glitchy version, possibly using an ember-cli addon
• Product photos need to be reedited for size and entered into firebase in base64 format
• Checkout system is still very alpha, needs more functionality including itemized invoices and dynamically generated shipping costs

##Known Bugs

• As of 4.16.2016, user authentication is down due to an unknown bug that likely manifested during a merge. I am currently working on fixing this issue.
