blog-site

Creating a more backend focused project by responding to user request and creating APIs for a content editor using CRUD Operations.

What is it

A Blog site where I can share my thoughts and opinions about Computer Systems, Web Development also creating tutorials and reviews on my favorite books. but for now I populated the blog site's contents from some of the notes in my markdown web application Vimnotes just to see how it looks.

Reason

I wanted to explore more into the backend side of things by building a multi-page application, the pages that are served to the clients are dynamic and is updated through an API that I can attach to a content editor that can use CRUD operations, and I was also curious how I could implement a JWT authentication strategy to secure my API.
I might populate this project with meaningful contents to share with other people, but as of now I am currently busy.

Tools I used

I use ExpressJs for my server
MongoDB with Mongoose ODM
JSDOM to parse markdown text and interact with the DOM objects in the server.
MarkdownIt to parse and render the makrdown contents written in a content editor to HTML.
