🛒 React Online Store

A modern, responsive, and production-ready React Online Store — a full-featured e-commerce front-end built with React, React Router, Redux (or Zustand/Context), and styled with modern CSS (Tailwind / Material UI / Styled-Components). Designed for real-world use: product listing, cart, checkout flow (mocked or integrated), authentication, admin panel, and API-friendly architecture.

⚙️ Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node >= 16
• npm or yarn

Installation

# clone
git clone https://github.com/your-username/react-online-store.git
cd react-online-store

# install
npm install
# or
yarn

Environment variables

Create a .env file in the project root (example):

REACT_APP_API_URL=https://api.example.com
REACT_APP_STRIPE_KEY=pk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY=your_firebase_api_key

Do not commit .env to version control. Add it to .gitignore.

Run locally

npm run dev      # for Vite
npm start        # for Create React App
# or
npm run build && npm run preview

Available Scripts

• dev / start — run the app in development mode
• build — bundle for production
• preview — preview production build (Vite)
• test — run unit tests
• lint — run ESLint
• format — run Prettier

---

🧩 API

This project is backend-agnostic. Example endpoints the frontend expects:

• GET /products — list products
• GET /products/:id — product details
• POST /auth/login — login
• POST /auth/register — register
• GET /orders — list orders (authenticated)
• POST /orders — create order

If you don't have a backend, use a mocked API with msw or json-server for local development.

---

🛡️ Authentication & Security

• Store tokens securely (httpOnly cookie recommended when you control backend)
• Protect routes using a PrivateRoute wrapper
• Validate inputs on both client and server
• Never store sensitive keys in client-side code

---

💳 Payments

To integrate Stripe:

1. Add REACT_APP_STRIPE_KEY to .env
2. Install Stripe SDK and follow official docs to create a payment intent on the server

For testing, use Stripe test keys and test card numbers.

---

✅ Tests

Use Jest and React Testing Library to test components and flows.

Example:

npm test

Write tests for:

• Cart calculations
• Protected routes
• Form validations
• Critical UI interactions (add to cart, checkout)

---

♻️ Performance & Accessibility

• Use React.lazy and Suspense for code-splitting
• Use loading="lazy" for images
• Optimize bundle size and remove unused dependencies
• Ensure ARIA attributes and semantic HTML for accessibility

---

🧭 Deployment

Common deployment options:

• Vercel (recommended for Next.js)
• Netlify
• Firebase Hosting
• GitHub Pages (static builds)

Build and deploy:

npm run build
# then follow host-specific deploy steps
