NextJS Ecommerce Website with MongoDB and Tailwind CSS

#atlashackathon #nextjs #tailwindcss #mongodb

Overview of My Submission:

I have built an e-commerce website using NextJS, Tailwind CSS, and MongoDB.

I'd used MongoDB's fundamental functionalities before, but this is my first time working with MongoDB Atlas Search. I had a lot of fun learning it and hope to use it in other projects as well.

You can view, order, track, and delete your products. You can also access the admin page from /admin route and mark the product as a delivered or not.

I have given access of the /admin page to everyone in this demo, but in the production project I would check the email from the getSession hook of next-auth in getServerSideProps. Then, if it is my email, I would give access to the page, otherwise I would redirect to the login page as follows:

export async function getServerSideProps(context) {

  const session = await getSession(context)

  if (session?.user) {
    const { email } = session?.user
    if (
      email !== "myemail"
    ) {
      return { redirect: { destination: '/auth/signin', permanent: false } }
    }
  } else {
    return { redirect: { destination: '/auth/signin', permanent: false } }
  }
  ...
}
