Features

Front-End Development

• I have created a simple web application with a user-friendly interface to display a list of items.
• The application fetches the item data from a JSON API endpoint.
• The item data contains the following attributes:
  • ID
  • Name
  • Description
  • Price.

Interactive Filtering

• I have also added a filtering feature to the web application, allowing users to filter the list of items based on their name.

Cart Functionality

• I have implemented a basic shopping cart feature that allows users to:
  • add items to the cart
  • view the items in the cart, and
  • calculate the total price of the items in the cart.

Back-End API

• The back-end API is simple which is used to handle the item data for the web application.
• The API include endpoints to retrieve:
  • the list of items and
  • handle cart-related functionalities (add to cart, view cart).

Data Persistence

• Implementation of data persistence for the items and cart functionality.
• I have used MongoDB to store the item data and the cart items for individual users.

Authentication

• Basic user authentication system is added such that users can register, login, and logout.
• I have ensured that certain functionalities, such as adding items to the cart, are accessible only to authenticated users.
