developing the platform using the MERN stack—MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js.

Application Requirements and Implementation

1. User Authentication & Role-Based Access

Objective:Allow users to register/login and provide different views/functionalities based on roles


(Admin vs. Customer).

Implementation:

Backend (Node.js + Express):

Use JWT (JSON Web Token) for secure user authentication.

Create middleware for route protection and role-based access control.

Store users in MongoDB with role fields (e.g., role: 'admin' or 'customer').

Frontend (React):

Forms for registration and login.

Persist JWT token using localStorage or cookies.

Conditional rendering to show/hide admin components.

Skills Applied: Authentication, authorization, RESTful APIs, secure data handling.

2. Product Listing, Search, and Filtering

Objective:

Customers should be able to browse, search, and filter products based on categories, price, ratings,
etc.

Implementation:

Backend:

Create endpoints like GET /api/products, GET /api/products?category=books.

Use MongoDB queries with filters and pagination.

Frontend:

Product cards with images, name, price, and description.

Search bar, dropdowns, and filter sliders for categories/price.


Axios/fetch to call the product API and render results dynamically.

Skills Applied: React state management, API calls, query parameters, MongoDB filtering.

3. Shopping Cart and Checkout Functionality

Objective:

Enable users to add items to a cart and place orders with relevant details.

Implementation:

Frontend:

Use Redux or Context API to manage cart state across pages.

Cart page to update quantities, delete items.

Checkout form with address, payment mode, etc.

Backend:

Save orders in MongoDB with order details, user ID, and status.

Basic payment simulation (integration with Stripe/PayPal is optional at this level).

Skills Applied: State management, form handling, order flow logic, database write operations.

4. Admin Dashboard for Managing Products and Orders

Objective:

Allow the admin to add/edit/delete products and view/manage orders.

Implementation:

Backend:

Protected routes to manage products (POST/PUT/DELETE /api/products).

API for fetching all orders.

Frontend:

Admin panel using React Router (e.g., /admin/dashboard).

CRUD interfaces for product management.

Order list with status update options.

Skills Applied: CRUD operations, role-restricted UI, admin dashboard design.

5. MongoDB for Storing Users, Products, and Orders


Objective:

Use MongoDB as the primary database to store and manage all data.

Implementation:

Design MongoDB schemas:

User schema with name, email, password (hashed), role.

Product schema with title, description, category, price, stock, image.

Order schema with user reference, items, status, timestamp.

Use Mongoose for schema definition and data modeling.

Skills Applied: Database modeling, relational data via references, secure storage
