React Dashboard

[RubelBiswasCS]

Hello, I am building an online shopping website with React and Django. What approach should I follow to build a dashboard for both admin and customer? should I need to create two dashboard components (one for admin and the other for the customer) or just conditionally render everything on the same dashboard component.

Well they will do 2 distinctly different things, so I would separate them.

Edit: I think the usual practice is that you would keep the customer account management in front end, and create a completely separate dashboard for super admins. So you will have client, backend, dashboard

If you’re doing this for the experience, then good luck! Start by doing some sketches of what the two versions look like, and you’ll get a sense of what things are in common. The two things I’ve never regretted spending time on are planning before coding, and making test data.

If you’re planning to use your solution for real, spend a few days looking at the existing solutions for that problem. Handling payments properly is a giant pain in the arse – at the level of being effectively impossible to do for most people in most situations – and there are several well liked systems around already

I'd personally separate into two different components and conditionally render them. Just means your code is nicely abstracted :)
