ShoppingApp is a robust, high-performance e-commerce solution built with ASP.NET Core MVC. It features a unique Modular Partial Class Architecture that separates functional logic into granular, manageable files. This design pattern ensures the codebase remains clean, scalable, and extremely easy to debug as the project grows.
- Dynamic Product Catalog: Browse products with advanced filtering and real-time search suggestions.
- Interactive Shopping Cart: Seamlessly add, update, and manage cart items with instant price calculations.
- Secure Checkout: Streamlined checkout process with multiple payment options, including Cash on Delivery (COD).
- Personalized Profile: Manage personal details, view order history, and track order statuses.
- Product Reviews: Submit and view ratings/comments for products.
- Comprehensive Dashboard: Real-time business insights including sales trends, top-selling products, and stock alerts.
- Advanced Inventory Management: Full CRUD operations for products and categories with image upload support.
- User & Order Management: Monitor users, toggle roles, and manage order fulfillment statuses.
- Data Portability: Professional-grade export/import tools for Products, Users, and Orders in CSV and Excel formats.
One of the standout features of this repository is its strict adherence to a "One File per Function" pattern using C# Partial Classes.
- Controllers: Large controller files are split into granular partials (e.g.,
UsersController.Login.Post.cs,UsersController.Signup.Get.cs). - Services: Business logic is decoupled into specialized service partials (e.g.,
ProductService.Queries.cs,ProductService.Actions.cs).
This approach drastically reduces file complexity and eliminates the "God Object" anti-pattern common in web applications.
