• Utilize more partials to DRY up view code

Background and Description

"Little Esty Shop" is a group project that requires students to build a fictitious e-commerce platform where merchants and admins can manage inventory and fulfill customer invoices.

Learning Goals

• Practice designing a normalized database schema and defining model relationships
