Full-Stack E-commerce Platform
A high-performance Next.js e-commerce platform with Redux Toolkit, dynamic filtering, and Stripe payments, powered by a robust Node.js and Prisma backend.
projectOverview
This project is a comprehensive, full-stack e-commerce solution designed for performance and scalability. The goal was to build a modern, feature-rich online store that provides a seamless experience for both customers and administrators.
The front end is built with Next.js, leveraging Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for fast initial page loads and improved SEO. State management is handled efficiently by Redux Toolkit and RTK Query, which simplifies data fetching and caching, creating a highly responsive user interface.
The back end is powered by a Node.js and Express.js API, with Prisma serving as the ORM to manage interactions with the MongoDB database. This architecture ensures that the application is not only fast and secure but also easy to maintain and scale.
MyRole
As the full-stack developer on this project, I handled its entire lifecycle, from database design to front-end implementation and deployment.
I architected the back-end API using Node.js and Express, defining RESTful endpoints for all core functionalities like products, users, and orders. I utilized Prisma for type-safe database access to MongoDB and implemented a secure authentication system with JWT.
For the front end, I developed a dynamic and responsive UI with Next.js and TailwindCSS. I integrated Redux Toolkit for robust state management and RTK Query to handle asynchronous API calls gracefully. A key part of my work was setting up the Stripe integration for secure payment processing and creating an intuitive admin dashboard with Chart.js for data visualization.
