A complete client-server-database project showing how modern commerce layers connect securely
-
Realistic store workflows explaining why secure identity, checkout, and payments work together
-
Stepwise feature integration through SwiftUI views, Express routes, and PostgreSQL data models
Modern commerce apps depend on a coordinated mobile interface, reliable APIs, secure identity management, and well-structured data. This project-focused learning experience shows how SwiftUI, Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL work together to support a complete iOS shopping journey, from product discovery to payment.
Beginning with environment setup and database design, the material progresses through Express routes, JSON APIs, Sequelize models and migrations, registration, login, JWT authentication, Keychain token storage, and protected screens. You then build product creation, image uploads, updates, deletion, user profiles, cart operations, checkout, orders, validation, middleware, and Stripe payment handling while connecting each backend service to the SwiftUI client.
Along the way, testing, debugging, bug fixes, and refactoring strengthen your ability to organize full-stack code and resolve integration issues. The finished project demonstrates how client, server, database, authentication, and payments operate as one system. By the end of this course, you will be able to build and refine a functional, secure e-commerce app for iOS.
iOS developers expanding into backend work, beginner developers exploring modern mobile and web services, full-stack enthusiasts, students, and startup founders building an e-commerce product. Familiarity with programming is recommended; Swift, JavaScript/Node.js, and SQL basics are helpful but not required. Learners need a Mac with Xcode and a willingness to work across client, server, and database layers.
