Ecommerce project built without frameworks, just pure PHP and vanilla JavaScript.

Primary LanguagePHP

🛒 Ecommerce site built using pure PHP & vanilla JS

This project is an ecommerce wesbite built without any frameworks. My goal was to learn how to code a functional application to learn fundamentals of OOP and the MVC architecture while setting up a somewhat modern development environment.

⚒️ This project was built using:

  • PHP7
  • JavaScript ES6
  • Composer packages like:
    • philo/laravel-blade as the template engine
    • PHPMailer: to send emails
    • Omnipay to handle payments through PayPal API
  • Webpack & Babel
  • Sass

⚙️Installation

If you want to test this project on your local machine, you have to follow these steps:

  1. Download the code You can either download the .zip file or run git clone https://github.com/crjoseabraham/ecommerce-NoFramework.git

  2. Install dependencies Then, install all dependencies by running: npm install and composer install

  3. Import database Go to your database manager and import the .sql file located in resources/data/. The CREATE DATABASE command is included already.

  4. Update environment variables Create a .env file and set the following variables:

        URLROOT

    And change the project base URL in resources/scripts/CartUI.js which is set up for localhost (lines 77 and 116).

    An small thing you may want to change or even delete is the timezone I set in public/index.php because I used my timezone

    date_default_timezone_set('America/Caracas');
