Due to the prevalence of E-commerce platforms, this is a practice back end to understand the fundamental architecture of e-commerce sites. This application was built using an Express.js back end and Sequelize to interact with a MySQL database.
In order to use view this back end site, requirements are MySQL and node.js. To install all dependencies, run npm i in the terminal.
The user must create MySQL crendentials in a .env file, with the database name, username, and password.
DB_NAME='ecommerce_db'
DB_USER=''
DB_PASSWORD=''
Then run the db schema sql file and seed the database using npm run seed then run the application with node server.js.

While working on this project, I worked alongside Jackson Myhre in the same bootcamp class. A lot of the routes were taken from class activities and edited to work in this assignment.
