Diligent Shop – Full-Stack E-commerce Starter

This project delivers a React + Express e-commerce experience with product browsing, detail pages, and a cart that syncs to a lightweight backend. MongoDB Atlas powers persistent catalogue data; when unavailable, the API gracefully falls back to curated sample inventory so the UI always works in demos.

Project Structure

• frontend/ – React 19, Vite, Tailwind CSS, React Router, Axios
• backend/ – Express 5, Mongoose, cart state API, MongoDB seed script
• docs/ – Architecture overview and prompts used to generate the solution
