The goals of this project are to create a backend RESTful web service (in Java/Spring) for managing packages consisting of one or more products and a frontend web application (in ReactJS) to represent those packages with a shopping cart option on the UI.
Note: This is not a full shopping cart application and neither does it provide an interface to create product packages. For a package creation, Postman or any other HTTP client can be used.
This project uses H2 in-memory database to store products packaging information. An DB initialization class (CommandLineRunner) is used to load some seed data at application startup. And scripts directory contains an example postman collection to populate and test backend RESTful service.
Frontend app is developed using ReactJS and Redux. It consists of a landing page where a list of available packages are pulled from the server on every visit. Redux is used to maintain the stock and cart state. Apart from landing/shop page, there is a package details page and a cart state page. Currently, items can only be added to the cart and cannot be removed and neither there is a way to checkout the cart.
