Challenges and Solutions
During the development of the e-commerce platform for Nordbucket, we encountered several technical challenges that required innovative solutions:
- To ensure email notifications were sent as intended, we overwrote Strapi model controller methods and wrote a subscriber for the Medusa plugin save function to properly track image changes.
- To address a Gmail notification color-changing issue, we added inline styles to the email template, while also resolving minor issues with other mail services.
- To generate custom, simple IDs for customers, we created a new database table and service.
technology approach
For the frontend, we used Nuxt to build a fast and responsive web application, combining it with Pinia for state management and Shadcn for the user interface. Tailwind provided a customizable CSS framework, while i18n handled localization.
For the backoffice, we utilized Medusa, a powerful platform for order management, inventory tracking, and shipping. Strapi was our content management system, interfacing with TypeORM for data handling in PostgreSQL.
