Ecommerce project

This is intended to be a complete solution for an ecommerce website. It's built within the MVC framework, with the backend in Java and PostgreSQL. The server side application also features a backoffice implemented in pure HTML. The frontend is built with React.js.

Created for the final project of the Web Programming course (Spring 2023, Universidade Federal do Ceará)

Note: this is a work in progress.
