Movie API

Welcome to the MyFlix API documentation. This repository contains the backend for a movie API, developed using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB with Mongoose.

The API is designed following REST principles, providing intuitive URLs, responses in JSON format, and standard HTTP status codes. It serves as the backend for a web application focused on movies, directors, and genres, and includes features for user registration and management functionalities.

It's specifically crafted to provide comprehensive information about movies and robust user management features.

I've successfully connected my Heroku application to my MongoDB Atlas database by updating the connection URI in the "index.js" file with environment variables, pushed the changes to Heroku, and confirmed the app loads and connects to my database.

Key Features

• Mongoose Models: Implemented for Movies and Users schemas, facilitating efficient data structuring and manipulation.
• API Integration: Seamlessly integrates Mongoose models with the existing API for robust data interaction with the MongoDB database.
• Request Methods: The API supports various operations, including:
  • Movie retrieval
  • User registration and management
  • Genre and director information retrieval
  • Adding/removing movies from user's favorites
• Documentation Update: Detailed documentation with clear instructions, request methods, sample responses, and data formats.
• Testing: Extensive endpoint testing using tools like Postman to ensure optimal functionality.
