Content

The folder structure consists on three main sub-folders:

  • client: contains the code corresponding to the frontend of the application, which was developed using the JavaScript library React.

  • server: here it is stored the code for the backend of the application, for which the technologies used were mainly node.js, Express and MongoDB.

  • project-documentation: includes a descriptive memory of the project along with a short presentation about it.

General API Information

All endpoints return a JSON object with the following format:

// If everything went ok
{
  data: [{...}],
  error: null
}

// In case an error occurs
{
  data: null,
  error: "Error message"
}

HTTP Return Codes

  • HTTP 400 return code is used for malformed requests; the issue is on the sender's side.
  • HTTP 401 return code is used when trying to access a protected endpoint without providing a JWT.
  • HTTP 403 return code is used when trying to access a protected endpoint with an invalid JWT.
  • HTTP 500 return code is used for internal errors; the issue is on the API side.
