๐ Built an E-Commerce API ๐
I developed a backend API for an e-commerce platform using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. Key features:
โ
User Authentication: Secure registration, login, token refresh, and logout with JWT and bcrypt
โ
Product Management: CRUD operations, product listing, and ID-based retrieval
โ
Shopping Cart: Protected routes for adding, removing, and clearing cart items
โ
Stripe Payment Integration: Checkout sessions and webhook handling for payments
โ
Centralized Error Handling: Custom ApiError class and asyncHandler utility
๐ ๏ธ Tech Stack:
- Node.js and Express for REST API
- MongoDB and Mongoose for schema and DB operations
- JWT and bcrypt for authentication
- Stripe for payment processing
- dotenv for environment variables
๐ก Key Learnings:
- Proper MongoDB URI configuration (database name only, no collection)
- URL-encoding passwords with special characters (e.g., @ โ @)
- Clean project structure with separate files for DB, routes, controllers, and models
