ShopNook: E-Commerce Web Application with Angular and Spring Boot

This project was developed as part of the Teamprojekt module, where I received a grade of 1.7.

Overview

ShopNook is a user-friendly e-commerce shopping cart application developed using Spring Boot for the backend and Angular for the frontend. Customers can browse products, add items to their shopping cart, and securely complete their transactions. The application integrates a MySQL database for managing user data, product inventory, and order history, while Stripe API ensures secure payment processing. The application also includes advanced security features with JWT-based authentication, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and Okta for user authentication and authorization.

   • Secure user registration and login.
   • JWT-based authentication for secure sessions and Okta integration for enhanced security.

2. Product Catalog
