User interface

App allows users to view items and shop, add them to a cart and eventually attempt to purchase them.

Admin panel

Administer has the ability to add new items, edit existing ones or delete existing ones as well.

Authentication

User's session saved into cookie-session to authenticate the user.

If a user decides to create a product or edit an existing one, user fills out a form for the product. User should be signed up to the app to access the admin panel.

As an administrator in order to access the admin panel, we have Sign-up and Sign-in pages. Sign-in and sign-up is only for access to the admin panel.

So only administrators are required to log into the Web site, an end user or like a customer can browse all these different items and have a shopping cart without logging in at all.

Users

• customers
• administrators

Database and password validation

Users are saved into database and passwords are hashed and salted. Also, input values are validated with express-validator.
