Building an ecommerce website

An ecommerce web application for a fashion accessories store using React for the user interface components, Tailwind CSS for styling of the components and the Redux Toolkit for state management. Payments are processed with Stripe and successful payments are saved to the database attached with details of the order made which the admin has the ability to update the order delivery status from the Admin dashboard which also has features such as the ability to add ,delete and update new or existing products. The images for the products are uploaded to Firebase's storage and the URL address saved to the database, this greatly improves the response time of the web application and relieves the database the burden of handling the image uploads. The user has a user panel from were they can track the shipping status of their orders, update their account details and manage the items in their Wishlist and Cart. For the icons, the Material UI library icons were used as they have a low build size, the slides on the reviews section were made with the Swiper Js library and the validation of forms are done with the aid of the react-hook-form library. The backend is handled using the Node.js runtime environment with Express as the server and MongoDB for the database management. The token for the logged in users is created and signed using JsonWebToken and the passwords are hashed with the Advanced Encryption Standard provided by the CryptoJs library.
