The admin panel is the backbone of this e-commerce project, serving as the content management system (CMS) and dashboard for managing the online store. It is divided into two main functions: enabling CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for categories, products, colors, and sizes, and providing a set of exposed APIs to facilitate seamless integration with the storefront.
The admin panel presents data in an organized manner, displayed in tables that allow users to easily copy specific item IDs. It also offers the capability to create multiple stores and manage them effectively.
My Role
In the admin panel development, my role was multifaceted. I was responsible for creating the user interface and functionality that allowed users to perform CRUD operations on categories, products, colors, and sizes.
Additionally, I implemented the necessary APIs to facilitate data communication with the storefront. My responsibilities ensured that the admin panel was a powerful tool for managing the e-commerce platform, enabling efficient content and store management.
What I learned
My involvement in the admin panel development exposed me to the intricacies of building a robust content management system. I learned how to implement CRUD operations for various entities, a fundamental aspect of managing an e-commerce platform.
Additionally, I gained experience in designing and exposing APIs, making it easier to integrate the admin panel with the storefront. Understanding how to structure and organize data for efficient management and retrieval was a key takeaway from this part of the project.
