Fullstack E-Commerce Demo

Fullstack E-Commerce Demo is a complete Java Spring Boot and Angular web application built to simulate a lightweight e-commerce system.
It provides RESTful endpoints, a dynamic front-end interface, and a persistent MySQL database. The project was originally developed as part of a university course and refined to demonstrate full-stack development practices using modern frameworks.

Overview

The application showcases integration between a Spring Boot backend, Angular frontend, and MySQL database to deliver a fully functional e-commerce environment. It demonstrates asynchronous client-server communication, data persistence, and JSON-based API design.

Features

RESTful API

• Provides JSON-based endpoints for products, customers, and orders.
• Follows REST principles with clear, consistent URI mapping and data serialization.

Front-End Integration

• Angular application consumes backend REST APIs.
• Displays dynamic data and supports real-time content rendering.

Database Persistence

• Data layer uses JPA repositories for object-relational mapping.
• Schema initialization provided via SQL script in the /database directory.
