Prerequisites:

For the backend:

To get deeper insight of the Backend of our Project Ecommerce have a look at the following steps:

Download the code folder from GitHub
Create a .env file inside the backend folder having two variables - DATABASE & SECRET. Additionally, you can add "PORT" as well if you want to connect DB at some other port.
Open cmd and go to the backend folder directory and run the "npm install" command
Go to PowerShell and run command "mongod"
Then "npm run". Below will appear on command prompt:

We'll see that the backend server is running at localhost:8000.

For testing in postman:

Write the route: http://localhost:8000/api/ route (Here, the route has to be taken from routes folder.)

For the frontend:

Firstly, go to Robo3T and connect to localhost:27017

Now, open the command prompt for the frontend folder and run "npm install"
Now, run "npm start"
This will automatically start the deployment server Below screen will show up automatically:

Click on the little arrow button in right corner

Now, open Robo3T, on the left bar click on books and then on users as shown below:

Edit and change the highlighted row's value i.e. "role" : 1. Since "1" is for admin.

Now, go to deployment and sign in and below screen will show up. Here you can add things to the cart, create categories, delete them etc.
