NodeExpress API with Prisma, MongoDB, and JWT Authentication

Welcome to the NodeExpress API project, a powerful solution for building RESTful APIs using Node.js, Express, Prisma ORM, MongoDB, and JWT Authentication. This project is designed to help you create a robust API for an imaginary ChangeLog app, enabling seamless product update management.

Project Overview

Description

Design and build APIs from the ground up in Node.js! Use Express to handle routes and create your REST API. You'll read and update data from a MongoDB database using Prisma and TypeScript. Additionally, enhance the security of your API by implementing JWT authentication.

Database Schema Design

We have carefully crafted a database schema to support the functionalities of our ChangeLog app. The schema includes models such as Update, Update Point, Feature, and standard user information.

Why This Project?

We aim to create a reliable and scalable API to serve as the backend for our ChangeLog app. While we won't be building a UI in this project, the API is designed to handle essential operations such as reading, creating, updating, and deleting product updates.

Tools Used

Runtime

• Node.js: A runtime that leverages JavaScript, providing a rich and active ecosystem.

Framework

• Express: A powerful web application framework for Node.js, making API development efficient and organized.

Prisma

• Prisma ORM: A tool for designing the database according to our needs, handling schemas, queries, and migrations.

Database

• MongoDB: A flexible and scalable NoSQL database. Prisma interacts seamlessly with MongoDB.

Hosting

• Render: A platform that simplifies the hosting of Node.js-based APIs, providing ease of deployment.

Project Links

• Deployed API Link: NodeExpress-Prisma-Mongo-TS-JWT-API
• Postman Collection: Postman Collection

Note: The Postman collection provides detailed requests for user, product, update, and update point. Make sure to sign in before accessing protected routes.
