Smart Web Application for Grocery E-Commerce

Abstract

An e-commerce web-application for grocery shopping was made using HTML, CSS (with bootstrap framework for responsiveness) and vanilla JavaScript used for front-end. For the backend, NodeJS was used as the JavaScript Framework and ExpressJS for server-related functionalities. To store the gropcery-related items in database, MySQL was used and phpMyAdmin was used for its administration via running an Apache server through XAMPP panel. A very brief explanation: the user can register themselves in the system, add items to the shopping cart, checkout and pay via Paypal/bank card, which was done using Paypal API. All the items related to the categories are added in the database and the 'ejs' files are used along with the server-side JavaScript files to get the data from our database.
