Not Amazon

A full stack web application clone of Amazon built on the MEAN stack.

Features

Web API created by the mongoDB database and relayed through a node.js/express server. Authentication created using JSON web token. And the client-side view is rendered using the Angular 5 web framework. The application allows new users to sign up/login as a seller to list products. Any user can purchase a product, but only sellers can list items. Purchasing a product will bring up the stripe API for payment, and algolia was incorporated for searching through the database for products by name.
