Blog App

In this assignment you will be expected to write a backend code for Blog app,

Getting started

The following packages you need to install before you start writing code:

"express", "mongoose", "nodemon" "bcrypt" "multer"

add scripts in package.json

• "start":"node server.js",
• "dev":"nodemon server.js"

What you will be doing

You will create a restful backend server.

For this:

pre: Create a database called blogs-database via mongodb compass

pre2: Create necessary folders according to MCV structure

Task 1 - Prepare your server code

1. Setup a server in server.js with express.js

2. Use the express.json() middleware

3. Your server should listen to the localhost:3000 port in the server.js file,

Task 2 - Prepare your Schemas:

create 3 collections

• users
• blogs
• comments

• firstName: string , required, max 50 characters
• lastName: string and required, max 50 characters
• email: string, not required,max 50 character
• password: string, required, min 6 characters

3. create comments each comment must contain theses fields

• commentText : string and required,
• userId: objectID and ref to users collection
• blogId: objectID and ref to blog collection
• replyText: array of objectIDs and ref to comments collection

Task 3 - Prepare your routes:

1. using userSchema, create controllers called createUser, updateUser, getUser, getUsers, deleteUser.

• If the user exists, send a fail response to the user
• If the user doesn't exist, create the user

2. using blogSchema, create controllers called createBlog, updateBlog,getBlog,getBlogs, deleteBlog.

   -only registered users can upload blogs. -guest users can see/get all blogs

3. using comments ,create a controller called createComment, updateComment, getComment, getcomments, deleteComment.

-only registered users can write comments on under blogs.

Task 4 - endpoints:

• users routes

    GET /users
    GET /users/:id
    POST /users
    PATCH /users/:id
    DELETE /users/:id

• blogs routes
