2.5. Literature Review

11
 An article titled “An Overview of Electronic Commerce (e-Commerce)” highlights its
transformative impact on the global economy by enabling businesses to operate more
efficiently through online technologies. Studies such as those by Walch (2009) and Turban et
al. (2017) emphasize the role of e-commerce in streamlining business processes and
enhancing customer interactions. Research by Grandon and Pearson (2004) and Peterson (2000)
explores the adoption and benefits of e-commerce for businesses, noting increased sales and
operational efficiencies. However, challenges persist, particularly in developing economies,
where issues such as security, trust, and infrastructure pose significant barriers (Khan, 2016;
Rahayu & Day, 2017). Despite these challenges, the potential for e-commerce to revolutionize
market dynamics and improve consumer accessibility remains substantial, as evidenced by the
rapid growth of e-commerce in emerging markets like India. (VIPIN JAIN1, 2021)

The article "A Review of E-Payment System in E-Commerce" delves into the pivotal role of
electronic payment systems (e-payment) in the realm of e-commerce. Authored by S Fatonah,
A Yulandari, and F W Wibowo from MTI Amikom University Yogyakarta, Indonesia, it
examines how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionized
business transactions, emphasizing the transition from cash to electronic-based methods.
Through an analysis of e-payment definitions, types, and evolution, the study underscores the
importance of robust e-payment systems in fostering trust, streamlining transactions, and
reducing costs. Additionally, it highlights research gaps and suggests future directions,
advocating for diverse methodologies and demographic representation to address emerging
challenges and opportunities in electronic payments. (S Fatonah, 2018)

The thesis titled "Clean Code in Practice: Developers' Perception of Clean Code" by Kevin
Ljung from Blekinge Institute of Technology explores developers' understanding and
application of clean code principles in practice. The study highlights the importance of
writing clean code to prevent technical debt and enhance code quality, reducing maintenance
costs. Through a literature review and survey distributed to developers, the research explores
real-world practices. Findings show that developers strongly believe in clean code's benefits for
readability, modifiability, and reusability. They typically refactor existing code for cleanliness
rather than writing clean code from scratch due to uncertainty in initial requirements. While
adherence to specific clean code principles varies, most developers agree with and implement
them, using techniques like code reviews and static analysis tools to ensure quality. This study
provides valuable insights into developers' perspectives on clean code and practical
implications for improving code quality in software development. (K.,2021)
12
The article from "Startupreneur Bisnis (Kedah, 2023) Digital (SABDA)" explores the
significant impact of e-commerce on modern business, highlighting its efficiency and global
reach compared to traditional marketing. It emphasizes the rapid growth of internet usage in
Indonesia and the advantages of e-commerce in enhancing customer service and
competitiveness. Key e-commerce processes discussed include online display of goods,
instant invoicing, secure account management, and direct payments. The article also covers
transaction types like cash on delivery and digital payments, concluding that e-commerce
attracts new customers and offers competitive pricing and responsive services, crucial for
business success in a competitive market. (Kedah, 2023)

3.3. Description of the Project Worked On
During internship, I was assigned a task to design and develop a backend system for
ecommerce website for clothing store in .NET 8 framework. The aim of this project was
to develop a dummy project that resembles real world shopping experiences by
incorporating all essential features required to create a robust and user-friendly
shopping experience. During the development of the online clothing store, I
implemented Clean Architecture principles to ensure the separation of concerns and
maintainability of the codebase. To further enhance the architecture, I utilized the
MediatR library to implement the CQRS pattern. This design pattern separates the
operations that modify state (commands) from the operations that query state (queries).
This project provided all the features required for a successful ecommerce application
like user management, product management and ordering processes. Technologies used
to develop this project are: ASP.NET Core Web API, c#, MS SQL server, Hang fire, etc.

• Accessibility: Though the software is developed for every user, so it must be
accessible by every user at a time.
3.3.3. Tools used:
i. ASP.NET Core
ASP.NET Core is an open-source web development framework that was
designed for building modern cloud-based applications. It offers a number of
advantages over the original ASP.NET framework, including improved
performance, cross-platform support, and simplified development. Contrary to
prior versions which were Windows-only, ASP.NET Core is cross-platform
and can now also run on macOS and Linux.
ii. SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS)
that supports a wide variety of transaction processing, business intelligence
(BI) and data analytics applications in corporate IT environments. SQL Server
is tied to Transact-SQL (T-SQL), Microsoft's proprietary query language that
enables applications and tools to communicate and also connect to a SQL Server
instance or database.
iii. Postman
Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies
each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create
better APIs—faster. The Postman platform includes a comprehensive set of
tools that help accelerate the API lifecycle—from design, testing,
documentation, and mocking to the sharing and discoverability of your APIs.

3.4. Tasks/Activities Performed

The task performed during the internship period are listed below:

• Research and understand about clean architecture, CQRS pattern and MediatR.
The task was to understand why we use clean architecture and CQRS pattern and how
does it benefit our application as there are many other options available for development.
17
• Project setup and configuration.
Started with my intern project that is Online Clothing store for which a project had to be set
up. This project was developed in .NET 8 framework using c# version 12 as a
programming language. Created a solution with multiple projects to adhere to Clean
Architecture principles and installed all essential tools and libraries and added project
references. Implemented git for version controlling.
• Database Configuration.
Selected SQL server for robust and scalable data storage and Entity Framework Core as
ORM. Configured the DbContext to manage database interactions and enabled migration.
• Design the Database Schema
Designing the database schema is a critical first step in building any backend system,
including an online clothing store. The schema defines how data is structured and stored
in the database. It includes tables for products, categories, users, orders, and more. Below
is the ER-diagram of my clothing store.

18
 Figure 4: ER-Diagram

• Set up the Web API

Developed the Web API using .net Core to handle HTTP requests. This API acts as a
intermediary between frontend and backend, adhering to Clean Architecture principles.

19
 Figure 5: API endpoints.

• User Management with Authentication and Authorization.

Implemented user management functionality leveraging ASP.NET Core Identity for
robust authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure secure and efficient
handling of user accounts and their interactions with the platform. This involves all the
features for user to manage their account like registration, login, logout, forget password
and reset password. Implemented JWT authentication which also helps to manage user
session for authentication process.
ASP.NET Core Identity is a membership system provided by Microsoft that adds login
functionality to our application. It allows us to manage users, passwords, roles, claims,
tokens, and more. Database tables given by ASP.NET Core Identity to handle user are
shown in image below.

For Authentication purpose, JWT authentication scheme was used, which is a widely used
method for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. A JWT consists
of three parts: Header, Payload, and Signature.

o Header: Typically consists of two parts: the type of token (JWT) and the signing
algorithm being used (e.g., HMAC SHA256).
o Payload: Contains the claims. Claims are statements about an entity (typically, the
user) and additional metadata.
o Signature: To create the signature part, one must take the encoded header, the encoded
payload, a secret, the algorithm specified in the header, and sign that.

Here is the implementation of JWT authentication in my application.

• Product Management.
Developed the product management module with separate commands (for create, update,
delete) and queries (for read operations). This ensures efficient handling of product data.
This module handles all operations related to product. Also, Shopping cart feature that
allows users to add, remove, and update items was implemented. Here is how product for
my online clothing store is managed.
Create:
First, a command responsible for creating a product and its corresponding handler for
handling the request is created. And finally added the product to my database after
checking all validations and performing business logic.

Similarly, created a functionality to update, delete and read all product from database
whose endpoints are mentioned below.

• Shopping Cart:
Implemented a shopping cart for online clothing store, which involves several key
components like including the creation of models, services, Api endpoints, etc. A user can
add an item in shopping cart to purchase later and can maintain the shopping cart by
updating, deleting and adding items.

• Admin Panel Development:

Implemented functionality to add and manage administrative users. This included assigning
roles and permissions to new admins to ensure proper access control and management
capabilities to manage product and product categories.

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):

Implemented role-based access control to manage different user roles (e.g., admin, user)
and their respective permissions. Restricted access to certain parts of the application
based on user roles.

25

Above figure shows that only user with role as ‘Admin’ have access to delete product
from database.

• Logging and Monitoring:

Integrated Serilog for logging application events, errors, and diagnostics. This helps in
tracking the application's behavior and diagnosing issues. So, created a middleware to log
request and response data of each http request.

In conclusion, the development of an online clothing store represents a significant stride
towards revolutionizing the retail landscape, enhancing accessibility, and enriching the
shopping experience. By leveraging modern web technologies and user-centric design
principles, this project aims to provide a seamless and engaging dummy platform for purchasing
apparel and accessories. It has provided me with the opportunity to immerse myself in a
real-world environment, where I could explore and expand my knowledge in this field.

The scope of the project encompasses the creation of a dynamic online store capable of offering
a diverse range of clothing options, intuitive navigation, and secure payment processing.
Integration with features such as user accounts, product reviews, and search and filtration to
further enhance the projects flexibility. These tasks encompassed various aspects of software
development, including research, project setup, implementation of core functionalities, and
testing.

The internship provided an excellent opportunity to enhance my technical skills in .NET

development, including ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, and ASP.NET Core Identity.
