Usage

ES Modules in Node

We use ECMAScript Modules in the backend in this project. Be sure to have at least Node v14.6+ or you will need to add the "--experimental-modules" flag.

Also, when importing a file (not a package), be sure to add .js at the end or you will get a "module not found" error

You can also install and setup Babel if you would like

Env Variables

Create a .env file in then root and add the following

NODE_ENV = Development
PORT = 5000
MONGO_URI = Your Mongo DB URI [Mongo DB connection string]
JWT_SECRET = Any Secret Key
PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID = Your Paypal Client Id [PayPal Payment Gateway]
RAZORPAY_KEY_SECRET=Your RazorPay key secret [RazorPay Payment Gateway]
RAZOR_PAY_KEY_ID=Your razor pay key id [RazorPay Payment Gateway]
SENDGRID_API_KEY= Your Sendgrid API Key [Email- Integration]

Note: For basic functionality without payment gateway, authentication & Email Integration, only MONGO_URI, NODE_ENV & PORT env is required

Enable Email - Integration

• Add your sendgrid api key to the .env file

• Add your from email Id and Sendgrid Template ID in the ./backend/controllers/ordercontroller.js file

• [Note: In order to obtain a Template ID, you must login to your sendgrid account and navigate to the 'Dynamic Template' section and create your own design template following which a template ID will be available]
