BUILDING A ECOMMERCE WEBSITE FOR SELLING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

Abstract

With the rapid development of Information Technology, it allows for multiple mundane activities to be done remotely and conveniently. Shopping is one such activity with online shopping becoming an increasingly popular trend in recent years, which pushes the development of online stores forward. Additionally, the advancement of technology also leads to the rise of demands and accessibility of customized personal desktops. Therefore, the PC parts market is more lucrative than ever before. In this thesis, I have researched and developed an online store to sell the above-mentioned products, utilizing the JavaScript programming language. The JS frameworks that I chose are ReactJS and NodeJS (with ExpressJS) to build the frontend and backend of the application respectively. For the database, I picked MongoDB as the database for my project. The final result of this development will be a web application based on the MERN stack model of an online store, with PC components being the main products. It will be able to simulate the functionalities of an actual online store such as managing users, retrieving products, and creating carts and orders.
