Building a Full Stack E-Commerce Site with AI | Part 9 #mernstack #coding

Education

Introduction

In this article, we will continue to develop our full-stack e-commerce application using the MERN stack and integrate AI features. Our focus for this part is creating a side section for displaying top-rated products, along with implementing a tab system for product reviews and details.

Step 1: Setting up the Product Display

  1. Formatting the Document: Begin by formatting the document and accessing the GD (Grid Design) component. Create a box component with properties set for name equal to bcyByB.

  2. Grid Layout: Set up the spacing and grid items. For our layout:

    • Define a grid item layout with spacing set to 12.
    • Create a box for the last name, then add an image component with specific width and height (100 pixels).

  3. Checking Image Display: Inspect if the image appears correctly on the page. Confirm functionality with a placeholder image or path.

  4. Adding Image and Product Details: Inside the grid item, insert the image and product name (e.g., "Samsung"), followed by a rating component. Make sure the rating is set to read-only with a value of four.

  5. Price Display: Create a price display below the product name, ensuring the styling matches your design (using relevant text color classes).

Step 2: Creating Top-Rated Products Section

  1. Accessing Products: Modify the Top Rated Products component to pull images and product details correctly. Update any missing data.

  2. Tab System Implementation: Navigate to the recommended products section, and create a boxed layout for tabs, integrating the TabContext and TabPanel.

  3. Adding Product and Reviews Tabs: Define two tabs: "Product Details" and "Reviews". Focus on styling with consistent spacing and class names for responsive design.

  4. Product Detail Section: For the product details tab, introduce a box that displays specific details about the product. Use appropriate typography settings to enhance user experience.

  5. Reviews Section: In the reviews tab, create a responsive grid layout that starts with a message for when there are no reviews available, followed by a section that lists existing reviews if any.

Step 3: Enhancing Review Features

  1. UI for Review Display: Create a visually appealing layout for displaying reviews, including titles, star ratings, and user comments.

  2. Rating Component: Next, integrate a rating component to display how many stars each review has. Ensure that it displays correctly with appropriate values.

  3. Progress Bar for Ratings: To provide a visual representation of rating distribution, implement a progress bar that tracks the number of reviews for each star rating.

Step 4: Final Touches

  1. Styling and Responsiveness: Review and finalize the CSS styles to ensure that all components are responsive across various devices.

  2. Pending Features: Take note of any popup features or additional functionalities that need to be added later on.

With these steps, you will have a functional side section that showcases top-rated products and incorporates a robust tab system for user reviews.
