E-Commerce API - Admin CMS and User

This project provides a robust and feature-rich API built using TypeScript, Nest.js, Prisma, and other technologies. It serves as the backend for both the admin CMS and user interfaces of an e-commerce platform. With role-based access control and comprehensive testing, this API ensures secure and seamless management of products and user interactions.

Features

• Admin CMS and User API: This API caters to both the administrative content management system and user interactions within the e-commerce platform.

• Role-Based Access Control: Administrators and users have different access levels, ensuring security and privacy by restricting unauthorized actions.

• Guards and Authentication: Built-in guards ensure that only authorized users can access specific routes, enhancing the overall security of the application.

• Database Integration: The API interfaces with a MySQL database for structured data storage and retrieval, enhancing scalability and reliability.

• Caching with Redis: Redis integration boosts performance by providing caching capabilities, reducing database load for frequently accessed data.

• Testing with Jest and Docker: Comprehensive testing using Jest covers both unit and end-to-end scenarios. Dockerized testing environment ensures consistent and isolated testing.

Technologies Used

• TypeScript: Provides type-checking and enhanced developer experience during coding.

• Nest.js: Offers a modular and organized structure for building scalable and maintainable applications.

• Prisma: An ORM that simplifies database interactions and schema management.

• MySQL: The chosen relational database system for structured data storage.

• Redis: Used for caching, reducing latency and enhancing application speed.
