E-Commerce Platform Introduction This e-commerce platform is a React-based web application designed to simulate an online shopping experience. Users can browse products, manage items in their shopping cart, and authenticate themselves using a dummy API.
Features Product Browsing: View a list of products available for purchase. Shopping Cart Management: Add and remove products from a shopping cart. User Authentication: Log in to the platform using dummy credentials provided by the Dummy JSON API.
Technologies Used React: For building the user interface. Axios: For making HTTP requests to the Dummy JSON API. Dummy JSON API: For authentication and potentially more data interaction in future updates.
Challenges and Learnings Integrating the Dummy JSON API for authentication was a valuable experience, offering insights into real-world API interactions within a React application. Managing application state, especially with the shopping cart, posed challenges but ultimately reinforced best practices in state management and component reusability.
Future Enhancements Integrate more dynamic features such as product search and category filtering. Expand the authentication feature to include user registration and profile management.
