NodeShop - A Node.js-inspired online shop, built with ReactJS

This website is an example/demonstration of the sort of online shops that can be built
with the ReactJS library, when coupled with a Node.js Backend.

https://nothingnothings.github.io/NodeShopRestAPI

Introduction

Frontend Single Page Application (SPA) built with the ReactJS (create-react-app) library. The site's design, hexagon-inspired, was based on Node.js's logo. Flexbox and media queries were used for the responsive design (attempting to cater to multiple device types, both desktop and mobile, with different resolutions). As per React's latest versions, the app was made out of functional components, moving away from the class-based ("class App extends React.Component{}") component approach used in the past.

The App was bootstrapped with create-react-app and deployed with GitHub Pages, assisted by the GitHub Actions feature. This app is also available as a "multi-page" app, without ReactJS. The project can be found here.

The backend of the app, as its name suggests, utilizes Node.js (with the Express.js framework) and is hosted on the Heroku platform. The serverside code can be found here.

Technologies

Some of the Languages and Libraries employed:

Node Package Manager (for bootstrapping and managing the React app)
HTML5 (JSX)
CSS3 (animations, Flexbox, media queries)
ReactJS (JavaScript Library, app built entirely of React components)
React Router (for the navigation between the different "pages" of the app)
React Redux approach for managing state (global state split between 4 reducers: auth, orders, cart and shop)
Bootstrap (mainly for parts of the Footer component)
MongoDB (noSQL database storage solution; storage of user, product and order objects into collections in a remote MongoDB Atlas database)
Font Awesome
Axios (for the communication, requests and responses, between the frontend app and the Node.js/express.js backend targeted by it)

Setup

To use this project, clone it using Git:

Run git clone to clone the project into your local Git repository
Run npm install to install all dependencies (react, axios, etc)
Run npm run build to create the production/deployment version of the app (outputted in /build)
Serve the production files locally or on the web, with the help of a hosting provider (although great part of the app relies/depends on the backend's data, which in the case of this demo, is served by a Node.js (Express.js) server, hosted on Heroku)
For the purposes of this demo, on the "Get Started" (Authentication) page, input the credentials exemplo@exemplo.com (email) and exemplo (password) to access the apps's various features

Features

Single-Page Application, no page reloads, single HTML file (ReactJS)
Application divided into many components, of which some are used more than a single time, on different pages (ReactJS design philosophy)
Hexagon-inspired design, created with CSS
CSS-animated SVG logo on landing page
Form validation logic using the useState Hook, as seen in the 'Get Started' and 'Add a Product' pages.
Responsive design (adaptive, mobile and desktop support) created with Flexbox and media queries
Usage of GitHub Actions and GitHub Pages with the create-react-app utility for a seamless workflow (transition from development stage to production/deployment stage). Upon the git push command, GitHub Actions transfers the contents of the master branch into the gh-pages branch, which then deploys the app at https://nothingnothings.github.io/NodeShopRestAPI/.
For deployment demonstration purposes, only a single user is enabled/created on the serverside, with the credentials exemplo@exemplo.com (email field) and exemplo (password field). Creation of additional users ("No account? Join NodeShop") is possible in the complete app (in this demo app, the account creation endpoints are disabled). Furthermore, the "Orders" made by the user are reset every 60 minutes (MongoDB Time to Live Index feature), and the products added to the "Cart", every 8 hours (MongoDB "Scheduled Trigger" feature)
Working "Shopping Cart" feature ("Add" and "Remove" products feature, with interactive "number of items" icon, synchronized with the global Redux state), implemented with react-redux
Form validation logic, powered by ReactJS's state management, in the "Get Started" page
Simple pagination logic for the list of products
Page redirection, made possible by the usage of React Router
Usage of Axios for communication with the Node.js (Express.js) backend, which manages the "User", "Product", "Order" and "Cart" objects, stored on a MongoDB database (MongoDB Atlas service); the Node.js server and MongoDB database also handle the authentication logic (login/signup) implemented on the app
Dummy representation of the possible integration of shop apps with Stripe, with the react-stripe-checkout package and corresponding serverside logic producing effects on the frontend (page redirection and visual update of "orders" page)
Animated custom "Loading..." Spinner
Viewing of each order's invoices/faturas in .pdf files, produced by the backend (pdfkit package)
Font Awesome and Bootstrap usage (in the Footer component)
Custom favicon, compatible with multiple devices

Inspiration

This app was based on the applications seen on the "NodeJS - The Complete Guide (MVC, REST APIs, GraphQL, Deno)" and "React - The Complete Guide (incl Hooks, React Router, Redux)" courses by Maximilian Schwarzmüller.
