Electronic Shop Backend Project

Design Pattern that I use

In this project I use MVC as my project's design pattern

In object-oriented programming development, model-view-controller (MVC) is the name of a methodology or design pattern for successfully and efficiently relating the user interface to underlying data models. (Cited from https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/model-view-controller-MVC).

Reason why I use MVC

I use MVC pattern because MVC(model, view, controller) is easy to use and follow pattern. This pattern can make my app development faster. When I use model to define my database schema it can be used as backup for my project database.

Beside of that, the route, controller, middleware and model is divided into different folder. This can make my project neatier and easier to understand when there is new developer that want to contribute.
