How to Create an Ecommerce Site with React

In this tutorial, we’ll look at how to build a very simple ecommerce web application with React. It won’t be the next Shopify, but it will serve as a fun way to demonstrate how well suited React is to building dynamic and engaging user interfaces.

The app will demonstrate a basic cart management system, as well as a simple method of handling user authentication. We’ll make use of React Context as an alternative to state management frameworks such as Redux or MobX, and we’ll create a fake back end using the json-server package.
