eCommerce platform built with the MERN stack & Redux. This is the course project for Brad Traversy's MERN eCommerce From Scratch course
Please note, this is a course project only, if you would like to point out any issues please do so
We use ECMAScript Modules in the backend in this project. Be sure to have at least Node v14.6+ or you will need to add the "--experimental-modules" flag.
Also, when importing a file (not a package), be sure to add .js at the end or you will get a "module not found" error
You can also install and setup Babel if you would like
Create a .env file in then root and add the following
NODE_ENV = development
PORT = 6000
MONGO_URI = your mongodb uri
JWT_SECRET = 'abc123'
PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID = your paypal client id
PAYPAL_SECRET = your secret
npm install
cd frontend
npm install
# Run frontend (:3000) & backend (:6000)
npm run dev
# Run backend only
npm run server
# Create frontend prod build
cd frontend
npm run build
There is a Heroku postbuild script, so if you push to Heroku, no need to build manually for deployment to Heroku
You can use the following commands to seed the database with some sample users and products as well as destroy all data
# Import data
npm run data:import
# Destroy data
npm run data:destroy
