BookShop is a powerful and production-ready backend solution for a full-featured online bookstore. Built with Node.js, Express, TypeScript, and MongoDB, it supports secure user authentication, robust product and cart management, seamless payment integration via ShurjoPay, and advanced order tracking features. Designed with scalability and clean architecture in mind, the backend empowers both users and administrators with role-based access and efficient resource handling.
Building a complete online bookstore came with challenges across both frontend and backend. On the frontend, crafting a responsive UI for browsing, filtering, and purchasing books required thoughtful design and performance optimization. Handling real-time cart updates, form validation, and seamless user sessions added further complexity. On the backend, we built a scalable REST API to manage authentication, CRUD operations, user roles, and payments. Integrating ShurjoPay, ensuring data consistency, and handling edge cases like failed payments were critical to system reliability.
The frontend was built with Next.js, React Hook Form, and Tailwind CSS for smooth routing, responsive design, and efficient form handling. Shadcn UI and Lucide icons enhanced UX, while JWTs and protected routes ensured secure authentication. The backend used Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and TypeScript with a modular architecture covering auth, products, orders, and users. ShurjoPay enabled secure payments, and robust features like role-based access, error handling, and validation made the API production-ready.
The final product is a full-stack, production-ready online bookstore with a clean, responsive UI for seamless browsing, shopping, and admin tasks. Modern UI libraries and efficient form handling enhance the user experience. The backend supports secure user management, dynamic listings, cart and payment handling, and admin controls—designed to scale and support future feature growth.
