An online grocery store | e-commerce

I am a huge enthusiast of open source. Contributing to open source is a fantastic way to learn and grow. Making open source contributions will require you to have been exposed to a few important concepts, practices, and transferable skills:

• Version control
• Working with tickets & issues
• Working with other developers
• Creating pull requests
• Experiencing a code review process
• Setting up a local development environment
• Contributing code to a pre-existing codebase

Freshbey is an e-commerce platform where users can order grocery items. I built this project originally for a client but they did not pay the agreed amount. After that, I made this project open source.

As of now, Freshbey is built using MERN stack. Additionally, React Bootstrap is used for styling and React Redux is used for state management.

Fork the repository at - roopeshsn/freshbey to your GitHub account.

Then clone the forked repository, by typing the following line in your local terminal/powershell. Remember to replace <your-username> with your actual GitHub username.

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/freshbey.git

Navigate to the cloned repository on your local system

cd freshbey

Add remotes to the parent repository. This will help you fetch the code from the parent repo to avoid any merge conflicts later.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/roopeshsn/freshbey.git

To verify, use the command git remote -v to check if you have two remotes - origin and upstream set up.

Finally, fetch the upstream's latest code from the main branch.

git fetch upstream master

We use ECMAScript Modules in the backend of this project. Be sure to have at least Node v14.6+ or you will need to add the "--experimental-modules" flag.

Also, when importing a file (not a package), be sure to add .js at the end or you will get a "module not found" error.

Create a .env file in then root and add the following

NODE_ENV = production
PORT = 5000
MONGODB_URI = mongodb+srv://admin:[email protected]/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majoritymyFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority
JWT_SECRET = roopeshthemass123@
EMAIL_USERNAME = 2ebcd460696ef8
EMAIL_PASSWORD = cb7e54cd13fa8b
EMAIL_HOST = smtp.mailtrap.io
EMAIL_PORT = 2525

npm install
cd frontend
npm install

# Run frontend (:3000) & backend (:5000)
npm run dev

# Run backend only
npm run server

Mailtrap (A Email Sandbox Service) is used as an email inbox to reset passwords.

The project is deployed on Heroku

git push heroku master

The above command is used to deploy the project on Heroku
