Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device’s screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Add/Remove products from the cart
• Edit product quantities in the cart
• Fill in all fields in the checkout
• Receive form validations if fields are missed or incorrect during checkout
• See correct checkout totals depending on the products in the cart
  • Shipping always adds a random price to the order
  • VAT is calculated as 7.5% of the product total, excluding shipping
• See an order confirmation modal after checking out with an order summary
• Bonus: Keep track of what’s in the cart, even after refreshing the browser (localStorage could be used for this if you’re not building out a full-stack app)

• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox

• Mobile-first workflow
• React – JS library

What I learned

I learnt alot working on this app considering its my first fullstack web application.
The backend was a bit challenging and i received great responses to my question on the remix discord server

Continued development

I intend to focus on improving my web development skills as a fullstack web developer. I am open to learning more modern framwork that enables the simplicity of creating flexible modern pages.
I also intend on making improvements on the site as my learning progresses.
I would be focusing on gaining more understanding of

• Prisma
• MongoDB
• Remix (more-indepth)
• Nodejs
• Typescript

Useful resources

• Prisma documentation – This helped me in creating the schema for MongoDB and making CRUD requests.
• Remix documentation – This helped me in getting started with remix. They have an awesome tutorial for coding along
