E-commerce | Serverless | "Nic Juice 2 Japan" (NJ2JP):

E-commerce store providing nicotine vape juice to Japanese customers faster than anyone.

• Deployed using Serverless | AWS Lambda | AWS S3.
• Backend API = GraphQL.
• Database utilizes a Mongo Cluster with 3 nodes. 2 Full + 1 Arbiter.
• Client-side API requests are generated from Apollo Client wrapped components.
• Other Client-side API requests are generated using redux-sagas and the npm library api-sauce that adds an abstraction layer to axios.
• The rest of the app sits on React.js & React Router(V3)* (with Code splitting), Redux & Redux Persist (with WebStorage).

Cloud Architecture

Site Address

Nic Juice 2 Japan.

• ☝🏼 That site is under Heavy Development and may at times, not be working. Will update here once availability is 100%.

Splash Preview

SETUP:

• npm i || yarn to install dependencies
• npm start for development server
• npm run build for production server

OPTIONAL

• touch .gitignore I use a global .gitignore_global file so you should add your own so as not to push node_modules/ once you've completed npm i.
• brew update
• brew install libpng for webpack image loader (image-webpack-loader see here)

NOTES:

1. I Highly recommend running npm update --save || yarn upgrade to update package.json &/or yarn.lock before running npm start or npm run build.
2. You may need to do a brew update for some of the webpack image loaders to properly work.
3. If you're following our strategy and deploying the static site to Amazon S3, then you can also run deploy-to-s3. Be sure to modify the bucket name.

WARNINGS:

• Uses webpack version 2.0.
• Node engine explicitly defined in package.json for node@7.7.3.
• If you are not compliant with these versions, it's HIGHLY recommended you update.

NOTES:

1. Redux Reducers:

* This bp's Redux reducer methods rely on the developer to customize the logic to maintain immutability of state. This was done _intentionally_ to strengthen developers abilities in manipulating state.  If this feels cumbersome, I highly recommend using _seamless-immutable_ (refs below) to outsource this process in a very clean, and simple way.

Important Launch Notes:

1. Modifiy LAMBDA_GRAPHQL env variable throughout src/ application to point to the production database & lambda endpoint.
2. Modify the serverless MONGO_URI env variable inside the AWS console dashboard.
