Shopping Cart App

Background

The purpose of building this application was to build proficiency with React and Docker.

You'll find both a Dockerfile and a Docker Compose file that can be utilized to build the containerized version of the application locally.

Create mongoDB account - https://account.mongodb.com/account/register
Go to collections and create a new database (shopping_cart) with two collections products and cartitems.
Under Security tab, click Database Access, and on the right add new database user. After you enter username and password, click add user at the bottom right corner.
Under Security tab, click Network Access, and whitelist your IP address.
Once your cluster is created, under Clusters tab, click connect and copy the connection string which will look something like this mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0-zamyu.mongodb.net/<collection_name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority. Replace the username, password, and collection_name with the appropriate names.
Save the 'docker-compose.yaml' file into a folder, which can be found in the main branch of this repository. Edit the 'docker-compose.yaml', replacing - mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0-zamyu.mongodb.net/<collection_name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority with your mongoDB connection string.
Run the command docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up and the shopping-cart application will be available for you on Port 5001 of your machine.
