My Collection for testing & Documenting the API of a Responsive Blogpost.
Tech Stack:
The backend of the responsive Blog Platform is built using JavaScript and runs on MongoDB
Description:
The Blog platform allows a registered and logged in user to create, edit, and delete blog posts.
The integrated database (MongoDB) allows for storing and retrieving blog data, such as user's posts, read posts, and the ability to crate new posts with image headers or later update posts without header images.
Milestones:
• Authentication using JSON Web Tokens(JWT)
• Stores all blog posts
• Shows users list of all posts they’ve read so far
• Allows users to create, edit and delete their blog posts
• Responsive application
• Bonus: A markdown editor for users to create their blog posts
• Bonus: allow users to upload header images for their blog posts
Description: Registers a new user
