This is the back end for my typie-talkie app. The front-end repo can be found here.
The back-end api for the typie-talkie app is written with express in typescript. The api accesses a MongoDB Atlas database with mongoose. I use bcrypt for password hashing, jsonwebtoken for authorization token management, and socket.io for real-time messaging.
Api routes can be seen here and are as follows :
{
"message": "Welcome to Typie-Talkie-Back",
"routes": {
"/": { "get": "Returns this message" },
"/api/user": {
"get": {
"/": "Returns all users",
"/validate": "Checks Bearer token and returns success or failure on validation.",
"/:_id": "Returns the user record for the user with the corresponding _id"
},
"post": {
"/register": "Takes a username and password and saves them to the database with a hashed version of the password.",
"/login": "Takes a username and password, verifies them and returns an authorization token."
}
}
}
}After registering a username and logging in, the app consists of an input for typing in messages that are instantly sent to all other signed in users. It is a chat app with only one room that I made to learn how to use socket.io. The front-end app can be found here.
