I have used React for the UI and Node for the backend and focused more on the functionality of the application . Since the API wasn’t functional I have used static data which has around 20 items and accordingly returned the search results based on the query string that the user would input. I have used react-axios for fetching the data . The thumbnails of the product and its name are clickable which would redirect you to the product details page where you can see the details and recommendations(similar items) for it . For the recommendations I have tried to simulate it based on the intent/type of the product it is (techrelated , fashion , skincare) , have specified the property and its corresponding value in the data based on which the recommendations are generated below the products .
- Have the latest version of node installed [https://nodejs.org/en/download/]

git clone - Change directory
cd WMFS-HW - Change directory to client and install client dependencies :

npm start - server will start running on port 6500 and you would see the message

- Open a new terminal , change directory to client using
cd clientand load the UI usingnpm start - The app will start running on
localhost:3000
- Here's a short demo link of the application right from the installation part : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MH-36gvDiRq8OnMRTQrkGTE09TDiXYI6/view?usp=share_link
