This course will teach you how to create an e-commerce application from the ground up using React. Then, you’ll learn how to use Hygraph to store and organize e-commerce products, as well as to pull this content into your e-commerce application. Finally, you’ll use Snipcart to implement a cart management system and then deploy your application to Netlify. By the end of this course, you’ll have practical experience with the various types of routing in React. Moreover, you’ll learn what a Headless Content Management System (CMS) is, how it works and create a project that stores product text and images, and how to consume data with GraphQL by fetching content from Hygraph. You’ll also get a good understanding of what Snipcart does and how it can help you manage your cart without having to start from scratch. Furthermore you’ll learn how to deploy your code by pushing it to GitHub and then using Netlify to deploy it. Finally, you will be able to make your application live so that others can see what you’ve done.
