watch-store System Requirements Document

1. Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "watch-store" project. This project aims to develop a comprehensive full-stack website for selling watches, tailored to the needs of users in India. The document will detail the functional and non-functional requirements, user personas, core user flows, visual themes, and other essential aspects of the project.

2. System Overview

The watch-store project is designed to provide an online platform for purchasing watches. It will cater to a diverse range of users, including customers, administrators, and guests. The system will facilitate browsing, selecting, and purchasing watches, along with managing inventory and user accounts.

3. Functional Requirements

• As a Customer, I should be able to browse the catalog of watches.
• As a Customer, I should be able to search for watches by brand, price, and features.
• As a Customer, I should be able to view detailed information about each watch.
• As a Customer, I should be able to add watches to my shopping cart.
• As a Customer, I should be able to proceed to checkout and make a purchase.
• As a Customer, I should be able to create and manage my user account.
• As an Admin, I should be able to add, update, and remove watches from the inventory.
• As an Admin, I should be able to manage user accounts.
• As an Admin, I should be able to view sales reports and analytics.
• As a Guest, I should be able to browse the catalog without creating an account.
• As a Guest, I should be able to view detailed information about each watch.

4. User Personas

• Customer: An individual looking to purchase watches online. They can browse, search, and purchase watches, as well as manage their account.
• Admin: A user responsible for managing the inventory, user accounts, and viewing sales analytics.
• Guest: A visitor who can browse the catalog and view watch details without creating an account.

5. Core User Flows

• Customer browses catalog -> selects a watch -> adds to cart -> proceeds to checkout -> completes purchase.
• Admin logs in -> manages inventory (add/update/remove watches) -> views sales reports.
• Guest visits site -> browses catalog -> views watch details.

6. Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #1A237E (Indigo)
• primary_light: #534BAE (Light Indigo)
• secondary: #FF5722 (Deep Orange)
• accent: #FFC107 (Amber)
• highlight: #FFEB3B (Yellow)
• bg: #F5F5F5 (Light Gray)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) (White)
• text: #212121 (Dark Gray)
• text_muted: #757575 (Gray)
• border: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) (Light Black)

7. Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the watch-store will feature an interactive 3D carousel of watches using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. Users can rotate the carousel to view different watches, and clicking on a watch will expand it into a detailed view with purchase options. The background will have a subtle parallax effect with animated watch gears, creating a dynamic and engaging user experience.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, with layered depth effects as users scroll. Decorative elements like watch gears will move at different speeds to create a sense of depth, while the main content scrolls naturally. Internal pages will use a "static" model for clarity and ease of navigation.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

• The system should support high traffic with minimal latency.
• The website must be responsive and accessible on various devices and screen sizes.
• Ensure secure transactions and data protection for user information.

10. Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• Local orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side orchestration: Kubernetes

11. Assumptions and Constraints

• The system will be deployed in a cloud environment to ensure scalability.
• Indian currency (INR) will be used for all transactions.
• The website will operate in the Indian Standard Time (IST) timezone.

12. Glossary

• Customer: A registered user who can purchase watches.
• Admin: A user with privileges to manage the website's content and user accounts.
• Guest: A visitor who can browse the website without creating an account.
• Parallax: A scrolling effect where background images move slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth.
