Back - End

Technologies used:

1. Node.js
2. Express.js
3. bcrypt for encrypting passwords
4. JWTs for token-based authentication
5. MongoDB & Mongoose

In the todos-apiYou'll find:

• models directory containing all the DB models implemented

• server.js containing all endpoints' logic and functionality

Make sure to:

• create a .env file with JWT_SECRET
• run npm install to include all dependencies
• have mongoDB server running
• run your server with npm run start

Endpoints

Endpoint	Functionality
POST/signup	Registers new user
POST/login	Log in existing user
GET/isUserAuth	Checks if user is authenticated
GET/todos	List all todos
GET/todos/:id	get specific todo
POST/todos/create	Create new todo
POST/todos/edit/:id	Updates existing todo

Some of the practices I followed:

• Single Responsbility Princible: writing functions with descriptive names that have one sole purpose
• all variables and constants have descriptive names, no x, y or var1 naming
• used const instead of let almost always, I believe that if I find myself needing to use a variable I ask myself "is there a better way to do this?"

What to Improve:

1. add middleware authentication checker to each private route
2. add DB seed
3. add test cases
