Onboarding

Objective

Get set up with the project repository and understand the application structure before diving into the tasks.

What You'll Do

  1. Fork the project repository on GitHub
  2. Clone your forked repository to your local machine
  3. Install the required dependencies
  4. Run the application locally and explore it
  5. Understand the project structure, tech stack, and how features are organized

Steps

  1. Visit the project repository: ecommerce-platform-reactjs
  2. Click the Fork button in the top-right corner to create your own copy
  3. Clone your forked repo: 
    git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/ecommerce-platform-reactjs.git
  4. Navigate into the project folder: 
    cd ecommerce-platform-reactjs
  5. Install dependencies: 
    npm install
  6. Start the development server: 
    npm run dev
  7. Open the app in your browser and explore the pages: Home, Products, Product Details, Cart, Wishlist, Compare, and Checkout

Tech Stack

  • React — UI library
  • Zustand — State management (cart, wishlist, compare stores)
  • Tailwind CSS — Utility-first CSS framework
  • React Router — Client-side routing
  • react-hot-toast — Toast notifications

Important Notes

  • The application is already built with all pages styled and functional at a basic level
  • Your job is to improve logic, fix bugs, and implement missing features — not rebuild UI from scratch
  • After completing all tasks, you will submit your forked repository URL
