E-Commerce App

Project Description – E-Commerce Backend API

This project is a fully functional backend API for an E-Commerce platform, built using Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. The API is designed to handle essential features required in any modern e-commerce application, including:

- User Authentication: Secure registration and login with JWT.

- Product Management: Add, update, delete, and list products with all necessary details.

- Order Handling: Create and manage customer orders, link them to users and products.

- Role-based Access Control: Separate access for admins and users.

- Clean Architecture: The codebase follows MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture for better scalability and maintenance.

The system is modular and ready for integration with any frontend interface, whether it's a web application using React or a mobile app built with Flutter or React Native.

My Role in the Project

I built the backend from scratch, including:

- Designing and connecting the MongoDB database.

- Creating secure user authentication with hashed passwords and JWT tokens.

- Building RESTful APIs for managing products and orders.

- Implementing middleware for error handling and access control.

- Organizing the codebase into reusable modules for scalability.

? Key Highlights

- Written in pure JavaScript (ES6+) using Node.js and Express.

- Uses MongoDB + Mongoose for data modeling and validation.

- Fully documented and structured API routes.

- Environment configurations using dotenv.

- Easily extendable to support payment gateways, product categories, or admin dashboards.
