🔧 Technical Details

Connection Configuration

  • Uses MONGO_URI from .env.local
  • Uses DB_NAME from .env.local
  • Connection timeout: 10 seconds
  • Server selection timeout: 5 seconds

Data Structure

{
  id: Number (unique identifier),
  name: String,
  price: Number (sale price),
  originalPrice: Number,
  rating: Number (0-5),
  reviews: Number,
  image: String (Unsplash URL),
  category: String,
  badge: String (optional),
  description: String,
  stock: Number,
  isDeal: Boolean (true for deals, false for regular products),
  dealEndDate: Date (only for deals)
}

Data Isolation

  • Products and deals are stored in the same collection
  • Separated by isDeal field for easy filtering
  • Clearing products only clears isDeal: false
  • Clearing deals only clears isDeal: true

📝 Environment Requirements

Ensure .env.local contains:

MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster.mongodb.net/databasename
DB_NAME=ecommerce

🎯 Usage Examples
