🚀 Project Overview

ShopNow provides a marketplace platform connecting buyers, sellers, delivery personnel, and administrators. Core functionality includes user authentication, product browsing, shopping cart management, checkout, order tracking, and an admin dashboard for analytics and management.

The architecture is split into two main directories:

• client/ – A React application using TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. It offers a responsive UI with role-based views for buyers, sellers, delivery staff, and admins. State is managed via Valtio stores and interactions with the back end use a centralized apiService.

• server/ – A Spring Boot application with RESTful endpoints, powered by Maven. It handles business logic, data persistence (SQL), and security using JWT. The server is containerized with Docker for easy deployment.
