This E-Commerce App is a web application created for my Module 3 project at Coding Temple. It was designed to facilitate the online shopping experience at a coffee shop, and is loosely based on the 1990's - early 2000's sitcom, FRIENDS.
The app allows you to add, modify and delete users, orders and products (inventory), as well as add products to individual orders and run various "reporting" (GET) requests to return the content of the various tables included in the database.
The app is built using Flask, SQLAlchemy, and Marshmallow for the backend, and it connects to a MySQL database.
- Users: add, modify, delete
- Orders: add, modify, delete
- Products: add, modify, delete
- Add/Remove products from orders
- "Reporting" (GET requests) for all DB tables
