tay-mall

An Ecommerce API built using a microservice architecture.

The Project has 4 different services

Customer Service can be used to list all available Products and place an order

Order Service is the service that creates the orders and queues a transaction message for the payment service.

Product Service is the service for listing and getting products.

Payment Service processes the transactions.

Flow

1. You list products from the customer service using the /product/list route.
2. you then make an order from the customer service using the /order route.

When we create an order, attach the customerId from the customer service and send the payload to the order service, the order service then creates an order with a pending status. After the order has been created, a transaction message is logged to the payment service using RabbitMQ, the payment service then consumes the queue and creates transactions. When a transaction is created and stored in the DB, the payment service sends a request to the order service to notify a successful transaction.

How to set up

1. make sure docker is installed
2. pull the code base and build the images using docker-compose build
3. Product needs to be seeded into the DB, so connect to the product-service and run npm run seed.
4. Now you can test from the customer service which is on port 3001

Note That

1. Authentication was meant to be used for customer service but time was running out so we hardcoded the customerID in the request
2. All Services have been documented using swagger-docs, you can access it from the /docs route for all services.
