StudyBackend – Backend Service

A simple backend service for the StudyBackend project. This README is a template you can update as you build out the codebase.

Tech Stack

Fill this in once your stack is decided, for example:

• Runtime: Node.js / Python / Java / Go
• Framework: Express / FastAPI / Spring Boot / etc.
• Database: PostgreSQL / MySQL / MongoDB / etc.
• Package manager: npm / yarn / pip / etc.

Getting Started

• Clone the project:

git clone <your-repo-url>
cd backend

• Install dependencies (adjust to your stack):

# Node.js example
npm install

# or Python example
pip install -r requirements.txt

• Environment variables:

Create a .env file in the project root. Typical values might include:

PORT=3000
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/studybackend
JWT_SECRET=change_me

Running the Server

Adjust commands to match your actual scripts:

# Development
npm run dev

# Production build & run
npm run build
npm start

Or for Python:

uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Project Structure

Update this once your folders exist. Example:

    routes/
    controllers/
    services/
    models/
    config/
  tests/
  package.json / pyproject.toml / requirements.txt

API Overview

Document your main endpoints here. Example format:

• GET /health: Returns service health status.
• POST /auth/login: Authenticates a user and returns a token.
• GET /users/me: Returns current authenticated user profile.

Once you define real routes, list them here with request/response examples.

Testing

Add your test command once set up:

npm test
# or
pytest

Development Notes

• Code style: Add notes about linters/formatters (e.g. ESLint, Prettier, Black).
• Commit style: Describe any conventions (e.g. Conventional Commits).
• Branching: Explain your branching strategy if working in a team.

Roadmap / TODO

• Set tech stack and dependencies
• Implement basic health check endpoint
• Add authentication
• Add main domain models and APIs
• Set up automated tests
