ShopEase

• 

  Full-stack e-commerce app built with Java, Spring Boot, JWT, MySQL, and JavaScript.

Inspiration

I started building ShopEase to understand how a real-world e-commerce application works beyond just creating frontend pages.

I wanted to learn how a frontend communicates with a backend, how data is stored in a database, how authentication and authorization work, and how features such as carts, wishlists, checkout, and orders are handled in a complete application.

Instead of building everything at once, I decided to develop ShopEase module-by-module and integrate and test each major feature before moving to the next one.

How I Built It

ShopEase is a full-stack e-commerce application built using:

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Fetch API
• Backend: Java, Spring Boot, Spring MVC
• Persistence: Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, MySQL
• Security: Spring Security, JWT, BCrypt
• Validation: Jakarta Validation
• Tools: Eclipse, Postman, XAMPP, Git, GitHub

The basic architecture is:
