Overview
Coder’s Closet is a full-stack e-commerce storefront developed to demonstrate comprehensive application development capabilities. The project encompasses both a backend built with Java and Spring, and a frontend powered by Node.js, React, and MaterialUI. Each component resides in its own repository to streamline development and deployment.
Goals and Motivation
This application was developed starting from a foundational Spring/React/MaterialUI framework. The primary goal was to expand upon this base to include a set of pre-defined features, achieve significant unit test coverage, and deliver a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), along with additional custom enhancements to showcase robust development practices.
