This document outlines the steps to create a RESTful API for an e-commerce
website using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. The API will support CRUD
operations for managing products, users, and orders. Finally, it will be integrated into
a React frontend for a complete e-commerce application.

Technologies Used

● Node

orders).

■ Create: POST requests to create new items.


■ Read: GET requests to retrieve items or specific item details.
■ Update: PUT or PATCH requests to update existing items.
■ Delete: DELETE requests to remove items.

Create a product schema using Mongoose.


Implement CRUD operations for products using Express routes.

Hosting

6. Choose a Hosting Platform


○ Host your API on a platform like Heroku, AWS, or Vercel,etc..
○ Deploy your Node.js application.

7. Integration with React Frontend


○ Use Axios or Fetch API to make HTTP requests from React to your API
endpoints.
○ Integrate API calls into React components for managing products,
users, and orders.
○ Handle asynchronous operations and state management in React.

This project will give you hands-on experience in full stack development, covering
both backend and frontend integration. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing
your completed project
