# project

### Project

Your project this week is continue work on the e-commerce shop you started last week and to add authentication and user specific interactions.

### Spike

Before you start writing features you need to create a security plan. There should be a section in your `README.md` that describes how you will secure your app and mitigate different potential attacks.

#### Questions to consider

* Will you store session info in a token (stateless) or in your database (stateful)?
* How will you check a user’s identity (authentication)?
* How will you control what actions a user can take (authorization)?
* How will you mitigate Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks?

#### Useful resources

* [Session-base vs token-based authentication](https://dev.to/fidalmathew/session-based-vs-token-based-authentication-which-is-better-227o)

#### User stories

As a **shopper**, I want to:

* Log into my account using my email and password
* Have my user session persist, so I don't have to log in every time
* Log out of my session

**These User Stories from last week should be updated to be linked to a shoppers account**

* Add products to a shopping cart
* View and edit items in my shopping cart
* Complete the checkout process to "purchase" products in my cart
* See confirmation when an order is placed successfully
* View previous orders and order history
* Complete checkout and payments to simulate purchasing products

#### Stretch user stories

As an admin, I want to:

* Log into an admin section of the site
* Add, edit and delete products
* View and export reports on site analytics
* Manage user accounts

### Acceptance Criteria

* [ ] Users must log in to use site
* [ ] Each user has their own session with unique carts and order history
* [ ] Information stored about users in database is visible on site
* [ ] Using the site updates information about users on database

#### Stretch

* [ ] Site has admin functions
