🛒 E-Commerce Project

Welcome to the E-Commerce project! This is a fully-featured online store platform that allows users to browse products, add them to their cart, and complete orders in a seamless, secure, and user-friendly environment. The project is built using Node.js and MongoDB, utilizing Passport.js for authentication, and is designed with scalability and extensibility in mind.

🌟 Features

• 🔒 Secure Authentication: Authentication is handled through HTTP-only cookies and JWT (both Access Tokens and Refresh Tokens). This ensures a secure, token-based authentication process while keeping sensitive information safe.

• 🛍️ Shopping Cart Functionality: Users can add products to their cart, adjust quantities, and remove items. The cart persists across sessions to offer users a seamless experience.

• 📦 Product Catalog: The project offers a dynamic product catalog where users can search, filter, and sort products by category, price range, and other criteria. Pagination is also implemented to manage large datasets efficiently.

• 🛠️ Order Management: Users can view, create, and manage their orders. They can track their purchase history and view order details such as product information, total cost, and delivery status.

• 📊 Admin Panel: Admin users have full access to manage the platform, including product management (adding, updating, and removing products), order processing, and user account management.

• 🌐 REST API: The project provides a comprehensive API that allows interaction with the platform, making it easy to integrate with different frontend clients or mobile apps.

• 🛠️ Extensibility: The project is built with a modular architecture, making it easy to extend functionalities or integrate new services in the future.
