💲 StockTrader 💲

This is the version of the StockTrader app that I changed to use a REST API as the back-end of the app and I've also refactored the code of the front-end to use the API instead of the Firebase database. In this application users can buy stocks and sell them to have profit

🚀 Used Technologies

Front-end techs:

Vue.js to build all the front-end in general
Vuex to manage the state of the application
Vuetify to build the application faster without having to create a lot of components and style them
Sweet Alert to give the user friendlier alerts
Axios.js to make the requests for the backend

Back-end techs:

Node.js To build the REST API in general
Express.js Framework for building REST APIs with Node.js
