Developing an E-commerce application prototype with ReactJS and Firebase

Abstract

In the context of the current epidemic, e-commerce platforms have become increasingly popular and essential for people's daily needs. It is crucial to continuously research and develop modern technologies for supporting these platforms. In this thesis, we aim to explain the process of developing an e-commerce application with the help of ReactJS and Firebase services.

Besides giving a brief description about E-commerce, the thesis also helps studying the fundamental aspects of ReactJS and Firebase. The core of the process is to establish a Firebase conceptual framework that makes use of its tools and services.

The outcome of the project based on this thesis is an e-commerce webstore prototype. The web app will allow people to buy and sell items that are relevant to their needs. The website also provides useful tools to help the owners managing their e-commerce store in handling orders, payments, and logistic. By implementing the serverless backend, the maintenance has become easier and easier, especially for the developers compared to the traditional backend technologies.
