### Accept payments & sell products powered by Stripe and the best of the JAMStack

There are as many ways to build an e-commerce store on the internet as there are products to sell. One thing is for certain, e-commerce is here to stay and as professional developers we need to understand how to build fully custom stores for our clients using the best modern tools available.

- React: flexible and customizable while following modern best practices
- Next.js: lightening fast with guide rails to help your project perform as consumers expect
- Stripe Checkout: lets you offload reams of complicated business logic to a trusted third party that maintains regulatory compliance, global payments, and a standard UX.

Your store will have well managed local component state using React Hooks and you'll also have clear and cohesive shared (global) state with React Context.

Finally you'll deploy your custom store to Vercel (the platform behind Next.js) as well as how to make your Next.js e-commerce store portable to deploy to other platforms.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications.

Databases are essential for any full-stack applications, but working with them is traditionally very difficult. Prisma is here to change that. It's a powerful database toolkit that helps us think in data itself - not SQL, not classes, just the data we care about in our apps.

In this series, we will learn how to leverage the power of Prisma to automatically generate a type-safe, autocomplete-ready, and efficient query builder, all based on a simple and easy-to-read schema. We will integrate all this good stuff into a Next.js project to complete a simple social network app.

In the end, you will be able to understand how Prisma works, and confidently start using Prisma in your own project.

Prisma is an open-source database toolkit. It replaces traditional ORMs and makes database access easy with an auto-generated query builder for TypeScript & Node.js.

Next.JS works with any CSS-in-JS solution, including Styled Components. But to get it working with Next.JS's server-side rendering, you'll need to do some configuration.

In this lesson I go through the steps required to get it working properly, including adding `babel-plugin-styled-components` to your project and overriding the `Document` page to inject your styles into the `<Head>` of the page.

For reference, please see Styled Components' [guide to SSR](https://www.styled-components.com/docs/advanced#server-side-rendering), and the Next.JS [sample repository for Styled Components](https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/master/examples/with-styled-components).

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

We begin diving into the Web3 API a little bit deeper during this lesson by taking a test-drive of `eth.sendTransaction` as well as `utils.toWei` method. Before we can dive into using these methods though, we'll first get an understanding of the values that are being used to populate our transaction data prior to send it off to execute on the Ethereum Blockchain.

In this lesson, we will learn how to initialize a Next.js 9 project with TypeScript support from scratch.

Initialize a Next.js 9 project with TypeScript

One of the more powerful features of `Nextjs` is how it handles regular and dynamic routing. In this video we will go through how to setup a single basic and dynamic route within the `pages` directory using `Nextjs`'s file routing and render some content. 

Setup Nextjs Routes

Next.js treats single-file components in the `/pages/` directory as pages, so we need to work around this abstraction to access and modify the `<head>` element of the page. In this lesson, we will learn how to render the `<head>` element dynamically with a constantly updated title in Next.js 9, and see how this feature can be helpful for loading custom fonts.

Render the <head /> element dynamically in Next.js

The companion life-cycle method `getStaticPaths` of `getStaticProps` lets us use the data we have at build-time to specify which dynamic routes (like `/pages/blog/[slug]`) we want to generate statically.

In this lesson, we will learn how these two functions can be used in conjunction with each other to fetch mock blog data from the file system, then generate static HTML files for each blog post route. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to fully utilize the powerful Static Site Generation (SSG) feature of Next.js to build and optimize your next project.

Statically generate dynamic routes in Next.js with `getStaticPaths` and `getStaticProps`

Next.js uses a file-system based router, meaning that it treats single-file components in the `/pages/` directory as pages. In this lesson, we will set up multiple pages and use `next/link` to navigate across different routes, and see how to create dynamic routes, and parse URL query strings.

We will be using TypeScript, but for this specific lesson, no changes need to be made if you are using JavaScript.

Understand static and dynamic Page Routing in Next.js

The "API routes" in Next.js are Node.js serverless functions that we can easily incorporate into our app.

In this lesson, we will learn how to write API request handlers, and how to set up dynamic API routes. After this lesson, you'll be able to create simple API endpoints with Next.js ready to be used both in our frontend code within Next.js itself or for other general purposes.

Build straightforward API with Next.js API routes

In this lesson, we will learn how to set up and use Chakra UI with Next.js.

We'll use Chakra UI to customize the way Next.js styles every page in our application by defining a `_app.tsx` file. We'll wrap our app in the `ThemeProvider` that Chakra gives us as well as use `CSSReset` to reset the default browser styling.

After this initial set up, you'll see how easy it is to start styling pages with Chakra by using components like `Heading`, `Link`, and `Flex` exposed from the core package.

Set up Chakra UI to work with Next.js

`Nextjs` not only allows us to setup basic and dynamic routes, it also allows us to use a similar pattern for defining API routes. In this video we will setup two API routes, consume the data in our `React` components with `react-query`'s `useQuery` hook.

Utilize API Routes in Nextjs

The Static Site Generation (SSG) feature introduced in Next.js 9.3 is powerful, but sometimes we still need Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for dynamic contents on the fly. For this purpose, the new life-cycle method `getServerSideProps` allows us to pre-render a page whose data must be fetched at request time. This is, in many cases, much more preferable over the classic hybrid approach of `getInitialProps`, because we can separate code intended for servers or clients more clearly.

In this lesson, we will learn how to use `getServerSideProps` to dynamically fetch data and server-side render pages by consuming a "user profile" API route in our project. We will also learn how to return a 404 error page when the user profile doesn't exist.

After this lesson, you will be able to combine prior knowledge of writing API routes with what we've just learned to build a fully dynamic full-stack app with Next.js.

Fetch data from an API on the server-side with `getServerSideProps` in Next.js

The cool thing about Next.js API routes is that we can directly consume the API endpoints from pages.

SWR is a nice tool for handling data loading state in React apps using hooks, and is a perfect companion for our Next.js application. In this lesson, we will learn how to use [SWR](https://swr.now.sh/) - a data fetching library by Zeit - to consume API endpoints on the client-side, and conditionally render an error or a loading component when the data is not available.
