🛍️ React E-Commerce Store

Game Store built with React

Short Description

An e-commerce store, imitating a Game Store, built with React. Includes dedicated game pages, a search functionality, genre and rating filters, a like feature and a wishlist. Responsive to the bone and tested with Jest. You can find a list of features, performance tests and technologies used below.

🔴 Demo

🧪 Live Demo available. Click “Live Demo” to open it.

Showcase

You can see images and a GIF of the project in user interaction below. The user starts on the landing page, navigates through the browse section, selects a game, adds it to their cart and opens the cart. The GIF does not show all features of the shop, it only shows the most elementary user interactions.

Performance

I let Google Lighthouse run over my application to check for it’s performance, accessibility, use of best practices and SEO optimization. You can view the results right below this paragraph.

Motivation

My motivations in building this project were showcasing what I learned so far and to have somewhat of a “sandbox” to experiment and build within. I was able to learn new libraries and I had to be creative with ways to improve my application’s performance. I also believed that building a project with a much bigger codebase than my preceding ones and learning how to organize such a codebase could set me off better for work in a business environment – and it did.

Features

Expressive, responsive and clear UI/UX
Extensive unit and integration tests to ensure intentional behaviour
Search any game you want
Filters to sort after genres and ratings
Like & Wishlist feature to track your personal wishlist
Smooth Animations with Framer Motion
Quick Navigation to view all parts of the project without having to click through it

Technologies Used

React
React Router Dom
Framer Motion
Jest
CSS
Git
CDN

What I learned:

Using motion libraries (e.g. Framer Motion) to achieve much smoother user experiences while maintaining clean code
Working with a CDN (Cloud Delivery Network) to improve performance by accelerating bundle delivery
organizing and connecting a project with React Router Dom
