## Nodejs Ecommerce Store

An amazon clone ecommerce store built in NodeJS utilizing Express, Stripe Payment, MongoDB, Elastic Search, Faker API just to mention a few. Developed with the latest cutting edge industry standard technologies, eTswana stores allows a shopper to browse through the online store and buy products using a credit card. eTswana stores supports social sign up and sign in using Facebook.

### Live Demo

View the live demo as hosted on Heroku at
https://etswana.herokuapp.com/
(application may take few seconds to open)

### Requirements

```
1. Internet connection
2. NodeJS (https://nodejs.org/)
3. VS Code (optional: I use WebStorm)
4. MongoDB (you can use www.mlab.com or Docker alternative)
5. Elastic Search (https://www.elastic.co/ or Docker alternative):
    Download version 1.7.5 others are not compatable
6. Stripe account
```

### Instructions

Open the project in VS Code, and navigate to config folder. Open the config.js in the editor:

Add mongodb URL:

```
 database: '<mongo_db_url>' e.g. mongodb://localhost:27017/test
```

Provide a secret key:

```
secretKey: "<add_secret_key>" - e.g. LKSJ&%$#XFE
```

Using Facebook developer site, create a Facebook app and retrieve the following:

```
clientID: process.env.FACEBOOK_ID || '<facebook_id>'

clientSecret: process.env.FACEBOOK_SECRET || '<facebook_secret_key>'
```

Create an account with Stripe Payment (https://stripe.com/)

```
Open routes/main.js to add the 'sk_test_SAF...'
number retrieved from Stripe.com
```

## Running the application

Now that we are set. Open project in terminal, and:

```
npm install (this will install all dependencies)
```

Once all dependencies are installed

```
npm start
```

aggg!! Project does not run

```
* Make sure Elasticsearch is running (version 1.7.5).
* If using MongoDB locally, make sure it is running as well.
```

alternatively if you have Docker and Docker compose installed then simply docker-compose up. This will install and run MongoD and ElasticSearch.

## Testing

Add testing data to the application by loading API data from Faker API. To do this,
open `http://localhost:3000/api/<name-of-category-added>`. Do this for all categories. I will automate this functionality with Cypress UI automation tool.

`started on automating this`

To run automated UI tests, run `npm run test`

The tests are written using the Cypress framework (https://www.cypress.io)

`For Stripe payment testing please use the recommended cards on this: https://stripe.com/docs/testing`

## Docker & Kubernetes

To create a Docker container for the application, `docker build -t etswana:1.0.0 .`. Create the Docker image with `docker run etswana:1.0.0`

WIP: add more instructions on setting up Docker and Kubernetes including monitoring.

## Whats Next

1. ~~REFACTOR! Clean code comments~~
2. ~~REFACTOR! Improved code readability~~
3. More functionality to the ecommerce
4. Write a detailed tutorial - probably use a package to generate one
   from the code comments
