Overview 

This assessment is divided into four main parts:

• Database
• Catalogue Product Filter
• Product Details Page
• Shopping Cart

Database

The Catalogue page must display items from the database with the sample data previously provided. This will require you to create a database migration for the product table and move the sample data to seed the database in the same manner as the Sports Store.

• Migrate the Products table and create the database
• Create the database context file
• Create the repository and interface
• Inject the repository into the catalogue controller

Catalogue Product Filter

Populate the Catalogue page from the database and filter by category. The Catalogue page should look like the page above.

• Adapt the nav menu component from the sports store and use in place of the side category menu
• Populate the catalogue products from the products repository
• Filter the items displayed according to the selected category 
• Highlight the current category in the menu 

Product Details Page

Create a Product Details page that displays the product image and product details. The Product Details page should look like the page above.

• Clicking on a product image in the Catalogue page will open the Product Details page
• The Product Details page will use the markup from the single-product.html template file provided 
• Create a product details method in the Catalogue controller which will fetch the product details. 
• Use the product data to populate the Product Details page as shown above
• Use the same image as was used on the Catalogue page

You will need to do the following to complete this page:

• Tag each product with its product id and pass it back when the image is clicked
• Use the product id to fetch the product details from the database
• Pass the product to the view and populate the page with the product details

Part D: Shopping Cart

 

You are to create a session aware shopping cart that is available as a service along with a shopping cart page. The shopping cart page should look like the page above.

• Create a shopping cart and provide it as a service

• Save the shopping cart in the session state

Shopping Cart Page

• Create a shopping cart page as a razor page

• Use the markup from the sample cart.html template page for the razor page
• Load the cart items into the relevant fields from the shopping cart service
• The Add to Cart button on the Product Details page will add the item to the cart using the quantity set on the quantity spin control
• The Delete button will delete the item from the cart
• The Continue Shopping button will take the user back to catalogue page
  • We will NOT be implementing the Checkout page
• Remove the Cart icon and Buy Now button 
  • The razor page has its own layout file which is a copy of the main layout so this is simple

General

• The Cart icon is to display the total number of items in the cart
• Selecting the shopping cart icon in the page headers will open the cart page
• The Shop Now button on the Home page is to go to the Catalogue page
• The Buy Now button in the header is to go to the Cart
• The Continue Shopping button is to go to the Catalogue page
• Home and Shop links in the footer are to go to their respective pages
• Update the text on the Home page and footer to something meaningful for your site
• Make sure you have credited images (other than those from the template)
