biborrezsi-server

A server for the personal overhead expenses app.

The purpose of this project is to make my life easier and practice building a simple CRUD web app with the following feautures:

• input validation
• simple authentication
• sending automatic emails
• using confirmation links with randomly generated approve tokens

API endpoints

• /status GET → returns {running:true}, used to ping server to wake up
• /auth POST → expects {username:string,password:string} and returns a JSON Web Token if authentication is successful
• /reports GET (requires authentication) → returns an array of approved reports
• /reports POST (requires authentication) → expects a proper report format, generates metadata, saves unapproved report to database and returns a message
• /reports/:id/approve GET → expects report id and matching ?t=<approveToken>, approves the report and returns a message

Dependencies used

• Express with Body-Parser
• Mongoose
• Dotenv
• JSON Web Token (JWT) for authentication
• Nodemailer
• Randomstring for approve token creation
