Mongo Rest Api

Node REST API that utilizes jwt authentication and has some pagination. The api persists data in a local mongo no-sql database.

Libraries used:

• bcryptjs
• body-parser
• cors
• dotenv
• express
• helmet
• jsonwebtoken
• mongoose
• mongoose-paginate-v2
• morgan
• nodemon

Getting Started

1. Run npm install to install all the required packages
2. Create a .env file and add:
   • A DATABASE_URL path
   • A mongodb DATABASE_NAME
   • A free PORT number. The default port is 3000
   • The CONFIG secret to sign jwt users
3. Run npm start to start the server
4. Head over to localhost:3000/api/auth/register to register a new user and you will receive a token which expires in 24 hours ! 😢
5. Use the token with the header api-key to access the other routes

Have Fun !! 😊
