Antiqbras-Blog API

Overview

This simple API enables writers to manage blog posts and their accounts. It supports operations like creating, editing, and deleting posts, as well as managing writer accounts.

Features

Writers

• Management: Writers can create, edit, and delete blog posts.
• Account Creation: Writers have the ability to create other writer accounts.
• Default Writer: A default writer account is always present upon application setup. The details of this default writer can be modified in the ".env" file (refer to ".env.example").

Posts

• Structure: Each post contains a title, subtitle, content, slug, image, and the associated writer.
• Accessibility: Posts are publicly viewable. However, creation, editing, or deletion of posts requires writer authentication.
