This app is the back end for an e-commerce site. I have configured a working Express.js API to use Sequelize to interact with a MySQL database.
Internet retail, also known as e-commerce, is the largest sector of the electronics industry, generating an estimated $29 trillion in 2019. E-commerce platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce provide a suite of services to businesses of all sizes. Due to their prevalence, understanding the fundamental architecture of these platforms will benefit me as a full-stack web developer.
This app was built to gain expience and gain valuable knowledge of back end development practices including ORM, Express.JS, MySQL, SQL, Sequilize, API's, Node.JS, and NPM's.
This app will allow business to manage and control an e-commerce site by pairing it with this back-end.
While building this app I learned about object-relational Mapping (ORM), while also continuing my practice with other back end tech like Express.JS and SQL.
To install this app, start by cloning this rep. Then, while in the terminal, install the NPM's by running npm install. After that, insure the database is being used. Sign into mysql and run SOURCE db/schema.sql;, then exit. Then, seed the database by running node seeds/index.js. Finally, you're ready to npm start and start using this app in an API tester (I use Insomnia!).
This app would be used to help any e-commerce run a website for their business.
