Online Shopping Management

In this Online Shopping Management, I have used

Java: Java is the magic behind the scenes. It's like the engine that powers everything. With Java, we create the rules and logic that the website follows. From handling user logins to managing orders.

Java Servlet: Servlets are like problem solvers. They receive requests from users when they click buttons or fill out forms. Think of them as the ones who take these requests, do the necessary calculations, and provide responses. If you're adding a product to your cart or checking out, the servlets handle the heavy lifting. 

Java JSP (JavaServer Pages): JSP brings our designs to life. It's where we merge Java code with HTML to create dynamic pages. Imagine you're browsing products, and their details are fetched from the database. JSP helps in presenting this information in a neat and user-friendly way.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): HTML is the backbone of our web pages. It's like the blueprint we follow to create the structure. If you're imagining the layout of a product page with images, descriptions, and buttons, that's where HTML shines.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): CSS is our artist. It gives a unique look and feel to our web pages. Just like you'd choose colors, fonts, and arrange elements in an artistic way, CSS does that for our online store, making it visually appealing.

Bootstrap: Bootstrap is our secret weapon for speed and consistency. It's like a set of ready-to-use tools that help us create a mobile-friendly and good-looking website without reinventing the wheel.

JavaScript: JavaScript adds a touch of magic to our site. It's like the interactive element that responds to user actions without needing to reload the entire page. 

MySQL: MySQL is our warehouse. It stores all the important information that makes our store tick. 

I have also used Model-View-Controller (MVC) Architecture:

Imagine you're the director of a play, and you want everything to run smoothly. MVC helps you divide your play into three essential roles, each with its own special task:

1. Model:
Think of the Model as the behind-the-scenes crew. They handle all the props, scripts, and technical details. In my project:

Model Component: This is where we keep all the data magic. It's like the secret vault where we store product information, user details, and order history. My Java code talks to the database (MySQL) to fetch and update this data. So, when you browse a product or make an order, the Model is at work behind the scenes.
2. View:
They make sure everything looks amazing and catches your eye:

View Component: This is where we create the beautiful web pages you see. The designers (HTML and CSS) lay out the elements - like images, buttons, and text - in a visually appealing way. And if things need to change on the fly (like showing you a special offer), the View team (JavaScript) steps in to make it happen.

3. Controller:
Here comes the Director - that's you! The Controller makes sure everything comes together in harmony:

Controller Component: This is where we manage the flow of our play. Whenever you click a button or interact with the website, the Controller (Java Servlets) jumps into action. It tells the Model to fetch the right data, and then the View to display it. It's like the conductor of an orchestra, making sure every instrument plays its part at the right time. 

In this online shopping management project we have two models Admin and User.

Admin Module

• Add and manage categories:

 

        Functionality: Allow admin to create new product categories and manage existing ones.
        Implementation: I created the form and back-end logic to add, update and delete categories. Data will be stored in the MySQL database.

• Add and manage products:
  
  
   
  
  
  

        Functionality: Enable the administrator to add new products to the system and manage existing products.
        Implementation: I have created the form to add the product and implemented the back-end logic to store the product details in the database.

• Approve the order:

        Functionality: Allow admin to review and approve pending orders.
        Implementation: I have created a page that lists pending orders and provides functionality to approve or reject them.

• Manage users:

        Functionality: Give admin the ability to manage user accounts.
        Implementation: Create a user management interface that allows the admin to change user details, enable/disable accounts, etc.

• Statistics display:

 

        Functionality: Show various statistics related to sales, orders and other relevant data.
        Implementation: I need to collect data from the database and present in the admin dashboard.

• View all orders:

        Functionality: Enable admin to view a list of all orders placed on the platform
        Implementation: Retrieve order data from the database and display in a list or table format.

User Module

• Sign Up:

 

Functionality: Allow users to register for an account on the platform.
Implementation: Create a registration form, validate user input, and store the registration details in the database.

• Login: 

 

Functionality: Provide users with a way to log into their accounts.
Implementation: Create a login form, authenticate user credentials, and manage user sessions.

• Forgot Password:

 

        Functionality: Allow users to reset their forgotten passwords.
        Implementation: Implement a password reset mechanism using email verification and update the password in the database.

• Buy Product:

 

        Functionality: Allow users to browse and add products to their shopping cart.
        Implementation: Create product listings, enable users to add items to their cart, and calculate the total cost.

• Payment:

        Functionality: Enable users to make secure payments for their selected products.

• View Order:

 

        Functionality: Allow users to view their order history and track order statuses.
        Implementation: Retrieve user-specific order data from the database and display it to the user.

• My Account:

 

        Functionality: Provide users with a page where they can view and manage their account settings.
        Implementation: Create a user account page that displays user information and allows for updates.
