API - POST - Register new user

[Richard-Persson]

Problem Description

After a POST request is sent from /signup the details needs to be validated in the backend.
When the data is validated it will create an new user and store it in the database.

Required Changes

The data sent from the endpoint will be validated in the registerUser() method in authController.java

• Incoming data should be an email : String | password : String

• Create a regex to verify both email and password

• If the data is valid then return a response status with HttpS.OK

• If the data is not valid then return a response status with HttpS.Not_Created

• If there is an error return a response status that tells you which field needs changing

• What is the goal? (Describe the intended outcome)
  register a valid user sucesfully into the database

Acceptance Criteria

Conditions that must be met for the task to be considered complete.

• user with valid inputs gets registered and put into the database

Dependencies

• Backend:
• Frontend
• Database: User can't already exist in the database

Does validation happen on the data which is sent to the endpoint? What does the incoming data need to look like? If the new user is successfully created what is returned? If there is an error what messages are returned?
