Install Frontend Dependencies ```bash cd frontend npm install ``` ### 2. Install Backend Dependencies ```bash cd backend npm install ``` ### 3. Set Up Database ```bash cd backend npx prisma generate npx prisma migrate dev ``` ### 4. Start Development Servers **Terminal 1 - Backend:** ```bash cd backend npm run dev # Runs on http://localhost:3000 ``` **Terminal 2 - Frontend:** ```bash cd frontend npm run dev # Runs on http://localhost:5173 ``` --- ## 📝 How to Add a New Feature ### Example: Add "Wishlist" Feature #### Backend Steps 1. **Update Database Schema** (`backend/prisma/schema.prisma`): ```prisma model Wishlist { id Int @id @default(autoincrement()) userId Int productId Int createdAt DateTime @default(now()) user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id]) product Product @relation(fields: [productId], references: [id]) } ``` 1. **Run Migration**: ```bash npx prisma migrate dev --name add_wishlist ``` 1. **Create Service** (`backend/src/services/wishlistService.ts`): ```typescript import { prisma } from '../config/database'; export async function addToWishlist(userId: number, productId: number) { return await prisma.wishlist.create({ data: { userId, productId } }); } export async function getUserWishlist(userId: number) { return await prisma.wishlist.findMany({ where: { userId }, include: { product: true } }); } ``` 1. **Create Controller** (`backend/src/controllers/wishlistController.ts`): ```typescript import { Request, Response } from 'express'; import * as wishlistService from '../services/wishlistService'; import { sendSuccess } from '../helpers/response'; export async function addItem(req: AuthRequest, res: Response) { const { productId } = req.body; const userId = req.user!.userId; const item = await wishlistService.addToWishlist(userId, productId); sendSuccess(res, item, 'Added to wishlist', 201); } ``` 1. **Create Routes** (`backend/src/routes/wishlist.ts`): ```typescript import { Router } from 'express'; import { authenticate } from '../middlewares/authenticate'; import * as wishlistController from '../controllers/wishlistController'; const router = Router(); router.post('/', authenticate, wishlistController.addItem); router.get('/', authenticate, wishlistController.getItems); export default router; ``` 1. **Mount Routes** (`backend/src/server.ts`): ```typescript import wishlistRoutes from './routes/wishlist'; app.use('/api/wishlist', wishlistRoutes); ``` #### Frontend Steps 1. **Add Types** (`frontend/src/@types/index.ts`): ```typescript export interface WishlistItem { id: number; productId: number; product: Product; createdAt: string; } ``` 1. **Create API Client** (`frontend/src/api/wishlist.ts`): ```typescript import apiClient from './client'; export const wishlistApi = { async getAll() { const response = await apiClient.get('/wishlist'); return response.data.data; }, async add(productId: number) { const response = await apiClient.post('/wishlist', { productId }); return response.data.data; }, }; ``` 1. **Create Hook** (`frontend/src/hooks/useWishlist.ts`): ```typescript import { useState } from 'react'; import { wishlistApi } from '../api/wishlist'; export function useWishlist() { const [items, setItems] = useState([]); const addToWishlist = async (productId: number) => { await wishlistApi.add(productId); // Refetch items... }; return { items, addToWishlist }; } ``` 1. **Use in Component** (`frontend/src/components/WishlistButton.tsx`): ```typescript import { useWishlist } from '../hooks/useWishlist'; export function WishlistButton({ productId }) { const { addToWishlist } = useWishlist(); return ( ); } ``` --- ## 🔄 Data Flow Example ``` User clicks "Add to Cart" button ↓ Component calls `productApi.addToCart(id)` ↓ API client sends POST /api/cart with JWT token ↓ Backend: authenticate middleware verifies token ↓ Backend: validateCart middleware validates request ↓ Backend: cartController.addItem() receives request ↓ Backend: cartService.addItem() handles business logic ↓ Backend: cartModel (Prisma) saves to database ↓ Backend: returns { success: true, data: cart } ↓ Frontend: receives response, updates UI ↓ User sees success message ``` --- ## 🔐 Security Features ### Frontend - JWT tokens stored in localStorage - Automatic token injection via axios interceptors - Protected routes redirect unauthenticated users - Client-side validation before API calls ### Backend - JWT authentication on protected endpoints - Request validation with Zod schemas - Helmet for security headers - CORS configured for specific origins - Password hashing with bcrypt - SQL injection prevention via Prisma --- ## 📊 Testing Strategy ### Frontend Testing ```bash # Unit tests for components npm run test:unit # Integration tests for hooks npm run test:integration # E2E tests npm run test:e2e ``` ### Backend Testing ```bash # Unit tests for services npm run test:unit # Integration tests for routes npm run test:integration # API tests npm run test:api ``` --- ## 🚢 Deployment ### Frontend (Vercel/Netlify) ```bash cd frontend npm run build # Deploy dist/ folder ``` ### Backend (Railway/Heroku/AWS) ```bash cd backend npm run build npm start ``` --- ## 📚 Next Steps 1. **Add Sample Components**: Create Button, Card, Navbar in `frontend/src/components/` 2. **Add Sample Pages**: Create HomePage, ProductPage in `frontend/src/pages/` 3. **Implement Auth**: Complete login/register in backend 4. **Add Products CRUD**: Implement full product management 5. **Add Tests**: Write unit and integration tests 6. **Set Up CI/CD**: GitHub Actions for automated deployment --- ## 💡 Why This Structure Works ✅ **Scalable**: Each part has a clear responsibility ✅ **Maintainable**: Easy to find and update code ✅ **Testable**: Layers can be tested independently ✅ **Team-Friendly**: Multiple developers can work without conflicts ✅ **Production-Ready**: Security, error handling, logging built-in ✅ **Type-Safe**: TypeScript catches bugs before runtime --- **You now have a professional, production-ready architecture!** 🎉 Start by implementing your first feature following the guide above.
