🔧 Sample Code Snippets
📦 Product Schema (MongoDB / Mongoose)
jsCopyEdit// models/Product.js
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const productSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
brand: String,
category: String,
price: Number,
description: String,
imageUrls: [String],
stock: Number,
variants: [String], // ["Red", "Blue"]
ratings: [Number]
});
module.exports = mongoose.model("Product", productSchema);
🛒 Add to Cart (React)
jsCopyEditfunction addToCart(product) {
const cart = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("cart")) || [];
cart.push({ ...product, quantity: 1 });
localStorage.setItem("cart", JSON.stringify(cart));
}
🔐 Login (Express + bcrypt)
jsCopyEditconst bcrypt = require("bcrypt");
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");
app.post("/api/login", async (req, res) => {
const user = await User.findOne({ email: req.body.email });
const valid = bcrypt.compareSync(req.body.password, user.passwordHash);
if (!valid) return res.status(401).send("Invalid credentials");
const token = jwt.sign({ id: user._id }, "secret");
res.json({ token });
});
🧑💻 Sample Lazada-Style Frontend UI (React + Tailwind)
jsxCopyEdit<div className="grid grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-4 gap-4">
{products.map((prod) => (
<div key={prod.id} className="border p-4 rounded hover:shadow-lg">
<img src={prod.imageUrls[0]} alt={prod.name} className="h-40 w-full object-cover" />
<p className="text-lg font-semibold">{prod.name}</p>
<p className="text-red-600">฿{prod.price.toLocaleString()}</p>
<button onClick={() => addToCart(prod)} className="bg-orange-500 text-white w-full mt-2 p-2 rounded">Add to Cart</button>
</div>
))}
</div>
