E-commerce Demo

This is a sample application that demonstrates an E-commerce website using the MEAN stack. The application loads products a MongoDB database and displays them. Users can select to display products in a single category. Users can click on any product to get more information including pricing, reviews and rating. Users can select items and add them to their shopping cart

Import Data

I have included a data folder in this repo. Inside that folder will be 2 folders called cart and item. These 2 folders contain a mongodump of the 2 collections that I use in this ecommerce demo. You can use the import-data.sh script to import these 2 dumps to an ecommerce database, then you will have the same content that I have for this demo.

data/import-data.sh

Getting Started

To get started you can simply clone this ecommerce-demo repository and install the dependencies.

How to deploy this web on AWS VPC

Connect to your VPC through SSH (assured that your VPC instance is running and port 22 is opening in your Security Group)

My VPC's information:

Instance type: EC2 t2.micro

OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Virtualization: hvm

Network rules

Inbound ports: 22, 3000

Outbound ports: All

Deployment steps

ssh -i ~/Downloads/mykey2.pem ubuntu@<VPC IP address>

Next, copy your project folder to the host's storage (I used Secure Copy for this task) and my project located in home directory in the VPC.

sudo scp -vr -i <path to pem file for VPC authentication> <path to project folder in your PC> ubuntu@<AWS VPC ip address>:~/

ATTENTION: DO NOT COPY THE *nodes_modules* folders (NODEJS DEPENDENCIES FROM *npm install*) IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO WAIT FOR TOO LONG

Then, install MongoDB for the VPC and restore the data as the above instructions and done, you had the web run on your VPC

Remember to run the npm install command as a deamon process with

nohup sudo npm start &

If not, the server will be closed immediately the second you close the ssh connection

Kill the server with the command

fuser -k 3000/tcp

This command will kill any process running on port TCP 3000 (which is our web server)
