Bookshop with FastAPI, React and Paypal

My students Niko Heiskanen and SharkTal wrote a book shop, hlgbooks.com

Buy Niko's booklet "Paypal Integration", 1 EUR. The shop is more beta than the greek letter β, but you can buy from their website if you register first.

And yes, you can have the source code.

The project shows

  • How to use Python FastAPI to create an HTTP REST backend and API. And it's documented automatically!
  • How to integrate PayPal to allow users to pay with real money
  • How to write a frontend with JavaScript React (work in progress)

This project is part of Infrastructure project course I'm teaching with Harto Holmström.
