Mastering E‑Commerce Product Module Design with the Mall Project

Mall Project Overview

The Mall project is a SpringBoot + Vue + uni‑app based e‑commerce system on GitHub with over 60 K stars, offering both a front‑end shop and an admin backend that support a complete order workflow, including products, orders, carts, permissions, coupons, and members.

Project address: https://github.com/macrozheng/mall

Video tutorials: https://www.macrozheng.com/video/

Feature Design

The product module includes product management, add/edit product, product categories, product types, and brand management, covering both the front‑end shop and the admin system.

Product Management

Admins can add, edit, delete, and publish products in the backend.

Published products appear in the front‑end product list for members.

Add/Edit Product

When adding or editing a product, admins fill in product information, promotions, attributes, and related items.

Members can then view the product details on the shop front‑end.

Product Category

Admins can create, edit, delete, and query product categories.

Members can filter products by category in the shop.

Product Type

Admins set product type attributes, enabling attribute and parameter configuration during product editing.

Members can select products with specific attributes for purchase.

Brand Management

Admins can add, edit, delete, and query product brands.

Members can view brand details and associated products on the brand page.

Feature Summary

A mind‑map image summarizes the product module’s functions and related fields.

Database Design

Based on the functional design and mind‑map, the database schema for the product module is illustrated.

API Design

API definitions follow the project’s Swagger documentation; interfaces prefixed with

Pms

correspond to the product module.

Video Tutorial

A comprehensive video series explains the product module’s database design, API design, and code implementation, covering each table and interface.
