Jazila Bazar is an open-source multi-vendor ecommerce platform that pairs a Next.js 13 storefront with a NestJS backend so vendors can manage their own catalogs and shoppers can search, review, and buy products. The project was created by SM Tanimur Rahman, published on GitHub, and has a live demo at jazila-bazar.vercel.app.
What is Jazila Bazar?
Jazila Bazar is a full-stack TypeScript ecommerce application organized into two codebases: the main storefront repository (Jazila-bazar) and a separate admin dashboard repository (jazila-dashboard). The frontend is built with Next.js 13, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn UI and handles product search, cart, and checkout, while the backend is a NestJS API using Express, Mongoose for MongoDB, and Passport.js with JWT for authentication. Configuration is driven by environment variables including NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_OAUTH_GOOGLE_ID, NEXT_PUBLIC_CLIENT_SESSION, and NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_URL.
Key Features
- Multi-Vendor Support — vendors register and manage their own storefronts within a single platform.
- Product Management — vendors can add, edit, and remove products from their catalog.
- JWT User Authentication — secure login with JWT tokens via Passport.js, with Google OAuth support through the Google client ID environment variable.
- Search and Filters — shoppers can search and filter the product catalog to find items quickly.

- Admin Dashboard — a separate dashboard application for platform-wide monitoring and management, connected through NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_URL.

- Frontend Tooling — the storefront uses Zustand and Jotai for state, React Query and Axios for fetching, React Hook Form with Yup for validation, Swiper for sliders, and sonner plus sweetalert2 for notifications; Cloudinary handles media uploads.
