Setting up the Stripe and Express Server

We will be setting up an express server to setup the Stripe payments, to get started with server code start by installing the dependencies.

Installing the Dependencies

npm install body-parser cors dotenv express nodemon path stripe

Creating the Express Server

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const cors = require("cors");
const path = require("path");

const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
require("dotenv").config();
const port = process.env.PORT;
const Stripe = require("stripe")(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);

app.use(
  cors({
    origin: ["https://myebazarstore.onrender.com"],
  })
);
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, "..", "client", "dist")));

app.get('/*', (req, res) => {
	res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '../client/dist/index.html'), (err) => {
		if (err) {
			console.error('Error sending file:', err);
		}
	});
});

app.post("/pay", async (req, res) => {
  console.log(req.body.token);
  await Stripe.charges.create({
    source: req.body.token.id,
    amount: req.body.amount,
    currency: "usd",
  });
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on Port ${port}`);
});

Setting Environment Variables

STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=
//Stripe in Test Mode, get yours from stripe.com
PORT=

Run the Server

npm run start

The Stripe and Express server is now running and will work perfectly fine now.
