ElectroShop | E-commerce App

ElectroShop is an e-commerce application built with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and Dockerized for seamless deployment. This project includes backend, frontend, and MongoDB services, with automatic database restoration.

Features

• Frontend: React app for the e-commerce interface.
• Backend: Node.js server with Express for handling API requests.
• MongoDB: Database for storing product and user data.
• Dockerized: Run the entire stack with Docker Compose.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Running the Project with Docker

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/vaho-aka/ElectroShop.git
cd ElectroShop

Step 2: Build and Run with Docker Compose

Use Docker Compose to build and start all the services (backend, frontend, and MongoDB).

docker-compose up --build

This will:

• Build the backend and frontend Docker images.
• Start the MongoDB service and restore the initial data from the dump file.
• Launch the backend on http://localhost:5000 and the frontend on http://localhost:5001.

Step 3: Access the Application

• Frontend: Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5001.
• Backend: API requests can be made to http://localhost:5000.

Step 4: Check MongoDB Data Restoration

The docker-compose setup automatically restores data to the MongoDB database using the dump file in the ./database directory. Ensure the data is restored by accessing the MongoDB container or checking via your backend API.
