Media API

This is an API for showing details and detailed list of movies and TV shows. It is built with NestJS, GraphQL, TypeScript, NodeJS, ExpressJS, and MongoDB.

Documentation

You can go to '/graphql' route after starting the app to get documentation and input/output schemas.

Security Implementations

Stateless Authentication:

JWT-based authentication is used, providing a secure and stateless approach to authenticate API requests.

Cookie-based Authentication:

JWT tokens are stored in cookies, ensuring secure transmission and simplified handling of authentication in subsequent requests.

Environment Variables:

Sensitive configuration details, such as database credentials and authentication secrets, are stored as environment variables to prevent accidental exposure.
