Project Title: Completing the E-Commerce Platform

Objectives

In this final project, you will complete the development of your e-commerce platform by implementing essential features such as the shopping cart, user profiles with order history, and search/filtering functionality. This project will bring together all the components you've developed in previous projects into a fully functional e-commerce web application. Additionally, you will follow best practices in software development.

Instructions

1. Database Design

• Add the necessary tables and fields to complete this project.

2. Best Practices Ecosystem Familiarity

• Follow a collaborative development process by opening PRs for new changes and features.
• Conduct code reviews for each PR to ensure code quality, security, and best practices.
• Leverage the CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins to automatically build, test, and deploy PRs.
• Ensure that all PRs are reviewed, approved, and integrated into the main codebase.

3. API Development Enhancement

Orders MicroService:

• Implement orders page to follow the order status.
• List the orders for both users and sellers using a search functionality.
• Implement orders management to remove, cancel, or redo orders.

User Profile:

• Develop a user profile section where users can see their best products, most buying products, and how much money they spent.
• Develop a seller profile section where they can see their best-selling products and how much money they gained.

Search and Filtering:

• Implement search functionality that enables users to search for products based on keywords.
• Add filtering options to refine product searches.

Shopping Cart Implementation:

• Create a shopping cart functionality that allows users to add products to their cart.
• Enable users to complete the purchase of the selected products in the shopping cart by selecting the "pay on delivery" feature.

Code Quality and Best Practices:

• Utilize SonarQube to ensure code quality and adherence to best practices.
• Address any code quality issues reported by SonarQube in your PRs.
• Document the improvements made based on SonarQube feedback.

4. Front-end Development with Angular

• Enhance the user interface to ensure a seamless and user-friendly shopping experience.
• Implement responsive design to support various devices and screen sizes.

5. Error Handling and Validation

• Implement proper error handling and validation for user interactions.

6. Security Measures

• Apply the same security measures from the first part of the project.

Bonus

As an additional challenge, you could consider implementing the following features. Note that these are not required for the completion of the project but would provide additional learning opportunities:

• Implement a wishlist feature where users can save products for future purchase.
• Add different payment methods.

Testing

Your project will be assessed based on the following criteria:

• Successful implementation of the shopping cart, user profile, and search/filtering functionality.
• User-friendly and responsive design.
• Proper documentation of the new features.
• Thorough testing to ensure all features work as expected.
• Adherence to best practices in software development, including unit testing, code quality checks, and code reviews.
