and insights needed to drive growth and success in the competitive online
marketplace.
Software Requirements
Here's a list of software requirements for developing an end-to-end eCommerce
online store ( Shopping Website ) using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js,
React, Node.js) stack:

1.Text Editor/IDE: Choose a text editor or integrated development

environment (IDE) for writing code. Popular options include Visual Studio
Code, Sublime Text, and Atom.

2.Node.js: Install Node.js, which includes npm (Node Package Manager), to

run JavaScript on the server side. Visit the official Node.js website to
download and install the latest version.

3.MongoDB: Set up a MongoDB database to store product information, user

data, orders, and other relevant data of the eCommerce website. We can install
MongoDB locally or use a cloud-based MongoDB service like MongoDB
Atlas.

4.Express.js: Express.js is a web application framework for Node.js, used to

build the backend server and handle HTTP requests/responses. Install
Express.js using npm.

5.React.js: React.js is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, used to

create the frontend components and user interface of eCommerce website.
Install React.js using npm.
6.Redux (Optional): Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps,
commonly used with React.js for managing application state. Consider using Redux for
managing complex state logic in the eCommerce website.

7.React Router: React Router is a routing library for React.js, used to handle navigation
and routing in single-page applications. Install React Router using npm to handle
navigation in eCommerce website.

8.Axios: Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js, used to
make HTTP requests from the frontend to the backend server. Install Axios using npm
for handling API requests in eCommerce website.

9.Bootstrap or Material-UI or Tailwindcss: Choose a CSS framework like Bootstrap to

style and design the frontend components of eCommerce website. Install Bootstrap using
npm or link to their CDN in your HTML files.

10.Stripe (Optional): If you plan to integrate payment processing into a eCommerce

website, consider using Stripe, a popular payment gateway. Sign up for a Stripe account
and follow their documentation to integrate Stripe into your website.

11.JWT (JSON Web Tokens) (Optional): JWT is a compact, URL-safe means of

representing claims to be transferred between two parties, typically used for user
authentication and authorization. Consider using JWT for implementing authentication
and authorization in the eCommerce website.

These are the essential software requirements for building an end-to-end eCommerce
online store using the MERN stack.

MVC Architecture
The MVC architecture would be structured as follows:

1.Model: The Model component will handle the data and business logic of your e-
commerce platform. This includes managing product information, user data, orders,
and any other relevant data. The Model will interact with the MongoDB database to
perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and enforce business rules.

2.View: The View component will be responsible for rendering the user interface of
your e-commerce website. This includes displaying product listings, shopping cart,
checkout pages, user profiles, and any other pages or components that users interact
with. The View will be built using React.js and will present data from the Model to the
users in a visually appealing and intuitive way.

3.Controller: The Controller component will act as the intermediary between the
Model and the View. It will handle user requests and input, process them, and interact
with the Model to retrieve or update data as needed. For example, when a user adds a
product to their shopping cart, the Controller will receive the request, update the cart
in the Model, and then render the updated cart in the View. The Controller will be
implemented using Express.js on the server-side to define routes and handle HTTP
requests/responses.

In summary, the MVC architecture separates the concerns of data management, user
interface rendering, and request handling into three distinct components: Model, View,
and Controller. This structure promotes modularity, code organization, and
scalability, making it easier to develop, maintain, and extend your e-commerce
platform.
