This is a single-project course, meaning that we spend almost 13 hours building an eCommerce shop using the MERN stack along with Redux Toolkit. We start from absolute scratch with an empty folder. You will learn everything from setting up a server, modeling data, creating a MongoDB database, seeding data, creating the UI, managing state with Redux, authentication with JWT and much much more.
The ProShop platform that we will be building will include the following features:
Full-featured shopping cart with quantity
Product reviews and ratings
Top products carousel
Product pagination
Product search feature
User profile with orders
Admin product management
