# Mikayla's Spice Market
|
|
|
|
Thanks for checking out *Express Spices*, my from-the-ground-up e-commerce solution for buying spices! The product catalog for this store is modeled after [World Spice Merchants](https://www.worldspice.com/), sorted into categories by geographical regions.

Payment information is supported through the Stripe API, with session support and user management with Express Sessions. The backend features a full REST API built in Express, connects to a PostgreSQL database, and is documented with Swagger. The app features a frontend built with React, TypeScript, and Sass.

## Installing and Running the Development Build Locally
|
|
1. Clone the project repository from the root level.
|
|
2. Node modules are hosted both at root directory level and within the client directory.
|
|
3. At the root directory level, run ``npm install`` to install backend dependencies.
|
|
4. Change into the ``/client`` directory and run ``npm install`` to install frontend dependencies.
|
|
5. Still within ``/client``, run ``npm run dev`` to start the Vite development server.
|
|
6. In another terminal window at the root directory level, run ``npm start`` to start the localhost server.
|
|
7. It should indicate that the server is listening on its designated port, and log each database transaction to the console. |
