Welcome to the VideoMe API - your go-to platform for managing multimedia content. This API is built with Node.js and Express.js, using TypeScript. MongoDB serves as the primary database, and Mongoose, along with mongoose-aggregate-paginate-v2, is utilized for powerful MongoDB query capabilities. Passwords are securely encrypted using bcrypt, and file uploading is handled with Multer. Cloudinary is integrated for cloud storage, offering a scalable solution for media assets. JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are employed for authorization and authentication, while Joi is used for input validation.
