In this course, we will build a completely customized eCommerce / shopping cart application from scratch using Django & REACT with the following functionality…

• Full featured shopping cart

• Product reviews and ratings

• Top products carousel

• Product pagination

• Product search feature

• User profile with orders

• Admin product management

• Admin user management

• Admin Order details page

• Mark orders as delivered option

• Checkout process (shipping, payment method, etc)

• PayPal / credit card integration

This is not a documentation-type course. This is a jump in and get your hands dirty course where by the end, you have an actual real-world project to use and put on your portfolio. You will learn the following by completing this course..

• React with Functional Components & Hooks

• React router

• React-Bootstrap UI library

• How to structure components

• Component level state & props

• Managing global state with Redux (Actions & Reducers)

• Using Redux state in components (useDispatch & useSelector)

• Creating an extensive back end with Express

• JWT authentication (JSON web tokens)

• Custom error handler

• Integrating the PayPal API

• Project deployment

• Much more!

This project is a collaboration with Brad Traversy where we will be taking his original MEARN Stack ecommerce course and building it out with a Django backend instead of Node, JS & Express. Brad & I decided it would be fun to remake the exact same project with a Django backend/API and connect it to the same React frontend/design.

My hope is that you learn how not to only build out this application but add on your own features to it. We learn best by building & customizing our own projects.
