This project is the back-end for an e-commerce website. It provides a functional Express.js API that interacts with a MySQL database using Sequelize. The API allows users to perform various operations related to categories, products, and tags, such as retrieving data, creating new records, updating existing records, and deleting records.

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the fundamental architecture of an e-commerce platform and showcase the implementation of the latest technologies for back-end development.

To install and run the project locally, follow these steps:

Clone the repository: git clone Navigate to the project directory: cd e-commerce-back-end Install the dependencies: npm install Set up the database connection by creating an environment variable file (.env) and adding the following details:

DB_NAME=<your-database-name>
DB_USER=<your-database-username>
DB_PASSWORD=<your-database-password>

Run the database migrations and seed the data: npm run seed Start the application: node server.js

Once the project is set up and running, you can use Insomnia to interact with the API. The following routes are available:

• GET /api/categories: Retrieves all categories.
• GET /api/products: Retrieves all products.
• GET /api/tags: Retrieves all tags.
• POST /api/categories: Creates a new category.
• POST /api/products: Creates a new product.
• POST /api/tags: Creates a new tag.
• PUT /api/categories/:id: Updates a category with the specified ID.
• PUT /api/products/:id: Updates a product with the specified ID.
• PUT /api/tags/:id: Updates a tag with the specified ID.
• DELETE /api/categories/:id: Deletes a category with the specified ID.
• DELETE /api/products/:id: Deletes a product with the specified ID.
• DELETE /api/tags/:id: Deletes a tag with the specified ID.
