E-Commerce site

Users can search for products from 4 categories. They can sort and filter products by price or category, and add items to cart. The checkout includes a billing form and an order summary.

You can check out the LIVE project HERE.


Motivation

The primary motive was to try out and learn both Redux and Material-UI. I also thought an e-commerce project would be an interesting and educational undertaking in general. I discovered Fake Store API to get data for my application.


Technologies used:

  • ReactJS
  • Redux for state management
  • Material-UI for styling and components
  • React Router for routing

Challenges:

Getting accustomed to Redux workflow was rather intimidating at first. It was difficult to wrap my head around all the boilerplate code necessary to even begin doing something. I chose to deep-dive into the Redux official documentation to get a better understanding, and eventually it started to make more sense.

I had never worked with a UI framework before either and it felt strange not having to build everything from scratch. I learned that the best way to understand the Material-UI ecosystem better was just to implement components in my project and try to customize them.
