shopping app

The project is a web application designed for online shopping.

Key Dependencies:

bcrypt: Used for secure password hashing.

cors: Enables Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in the application.

db-migrate and db-migrate-pg: Facilitates database schema migrations using PostgreSQL.

dotenv: Loads environment variables from a .env file.

express: A popular web application framework for Node.js.

express-fileupload: Middleware for handling file uploads.

helmet: Provides security-related HTTP headers for Express applications.

jsonwebtoken: Enables generation and verification of JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication.

morgan: Middleware for logging HTTP requests.

pg: The PostgreSQL client for Node.js.

Development Dependencies:

TypeScript-related tools (typescript, ts-node) for writing and compiling TypeScript code.

Various TypeScript type definitions for the project's dependencies.

Linting tools (eslint, eslint-config-airbnb-base, eslint-plugin-import) for ensuring code quality.

Testing frameworks (jasmine, jasmine-spec-reporter) for writing and executing tests.

Nodemon: A utility that automatically restarts the server during development.

supertest: A library for testing HTTP endpoints.

The project includes scripts for different tasks, such as building, starting the application, managing database migrations, running tests, and more. The "prestart" script triggers the build process before starting the application using the "start" script, which utilizes nodemon for automatic server restarts during development.

Overall, the project aims to provide an online shopping experience and includes features such as user authentication, file uploading, and database management. The technologies and libraries used in the project enable efficient development, security, and testing of the application.
