In this chapter, we started building an online marketplace application using the MERN stack. The MERN skeleton was extended to allow users to have active seller accounts, so they can create shops and add products to each shop with the intention to sell to other users. We also explored how to utilize the stack to implement features such as product browsing, searching, and suggestions for regular users who are interesting in buying.
While going through the implementations in this chapter, we explored how to lay down the foundations with full-stack implementations to be able to combine and extend interesting features such as search and suggestions. You can apply these same approaches while building out other full-stack applications that may require these features.
Even with these features incorporated, a marketplace application is still incomplete without a shopping cart...
