For our Time Capsule Backend we are working with a RESTful API built with Express on Node.js. We are storing our data in a Mongo Database structured with mongoose. Server deployed to Heroku and MongoDB stored in Atlas.
We work with 3 main collections in our database: User, BabyProfile and DailyEntry. We have connected the collections by creating a relation to the User model, so for example each DailyEntry entry includes an entryBy property, which lists the ID of the user who authored this entry.
We have implemented validation where possible on each of our models, in order to control that the data stored in our database is clean and proper ✨
You can find the Time Capsule Frontend repository here, where we have put this API to the test 💪: https://github.com/VanessaSue27/final-project-frontend

Restricted endpoints : These can only be accessed after the user has successfully signed up or logged in. In order for it to be validated, these endpoints expect the user's valid access token included in the POST request's authorization header.
