About This Fork

This repository is a fork of the original backend for the Flutter Dating Web Application, developed as part of a collaborative project. My primary role in this project was backend development, ensuring seamless database communication, authentication, and API functionality. This fork exists to highlight my contributions while maintaining credit to the original team.

My Contributions

• Led backend development, including API design and database integration.
• Developed authentication/token systems for user verification.
• Implemented CRUD operations for account management.
• Worked with the frontend team to ensure smooth data flow.

Flutter Backend

Overview

This is a backend for the Flutter Dating Web Application it uses pgAdmin as the database and Render as the Application Host. It is Written in JavaScript and js.node and uses the express framework. It is a REST API that is used to communicate with the Flutter Web Application. This is responsible for communication between the frontend and Database, providing methods for communication between the two. It also provides a way to authenticate users and provide them with a token to access the database. It also has methods to create and delete users, and to update user information.
