A click and collect coordination app for a retail store. This is attempt number 5 at creating this app.
This app is designed to replace several google sheets which are used to coordinate tasks and data flow between a central ecommerce location and 7 shop front locations. A central location will communicate tasks to stores, stores will take some action and communicate some piece of data back. Each task will have a status, and different things need to happen depending on status, AND different actions will trigger different statuses
MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) with Typescript
I wanted to use IBM's carbon UI kit but at the time, they did not support react 18. Instead I'll use tailwind to style the frontend
You'll need to have your ip address added to the mongodb database whitelist if you want to interact with it. Otherwise, there is a dummydata file that could be used.
- clone the repo
cd frontend && npm icd backend && npm i
then either in the frontend folder or backend folder run (this will concurrently run the server and frontend)
npm run dev
Burnout- this is attempt number 5 of this project. An ongoing challenge for me is to not get overwhelmed, and keep focused on small incremental improvements.
UI Design- The previous system used a table/spreadsheet and I did not want to directly replicate that expereience as in some occasions, some fields will have more text than others. I thought a card design would be better able to handle different sized blocks of text.
Business Logic - Towards the tail end of the project, I've realised there's some situations that I haven't thought of.
