This project is a web service for tracking exercises and users. It provides endpoints to create and manage user accounts, log exercises, and retrieve exercise logs. The main entities in this system are User, Exercise, and Log.
- Generate a user
- Create and retrieve an exercise logger
A User represents an individual user of the service. It has properties like username and _id. Users can be created by making POST requests to /api/users with a username in the form data. The response from this POST request will include the newly created User's username and _id. Exercise:
An Exercise represents a specific exercise performed by a user. It has properties like username, description, duration, date, and _id. Exercises can be logged by making POST requests to /api/users/:_id/exercises with form data including description and duration, optionally date. The response from this POST request will include the User object with the added exercise fields.
A Log represents the exercise history of a user. It has properties like username, count, _id, and an array of log items. Users can retrieve their exercise log by making GET requests to /api/users/:_id/logs. The response will include the user's username, count (number of exercises), _id, and an array of exercise logs. Each item in the exercise log has properties like description, duration, and date. You can customize the log response by adding from, to, and limit parameters to the GET request to filter and limit the logs.
This project is designed to help users track their exercises and view their exercise history. It follows RESTful API conventions and provides endpoints for creating users, logging exercises, and retrieving exercise logs.
