Crypto-Backend---Price-Conversion-

Welcome to Crypto-Backend---Price-Conversion-, a project designed to facilitate cryptocurrency-related tasks efficiently. This README.md provides an overview of the project's functionalities, setup instructions, and route documentation.

Project Overview

This project offers functionality in three major areas:

1. Fetching Cryptocurrency Data: Fetches the list of all cryptocurrency IDs and names listed on CoinGecko using its API. It stores this data in a MongoDB database, updating it every hour using a job scheduler.

2. Currency Conversion: Converts the value of any two currencies listed on CoinGecko in terms of each other. It calculates the value of the first coin in terms of the second coin on a specific date provided by the user.

3. Company Holdings: Provides a list of companies that hold a particular cryptocurrency. Currently, only Ethereum and Bitcoin are supported by CoinGecko.

Coding Practices and Techniques

• Utilizes best coding practices, including structured project directories and professional routing using Express Router.
• Configures CORS to enable backend server usage with frontend applications.
• Uses Axios for making API requests and Moment.js for date standardization.
• Implements error handling with the errorHandler middleware, ensuring error responses are in JSON format.
• Logs errors using the production-grade logger Winston, with error logs stored in MongoDB using Winston-MongoDB.
• Maintains sensitive values in a .env file to avoid exposure.
• Implements data standardization using Moment.js.
• Schedules updating jobs every hour using Node Cron.

How to Use

Follow these steps to set up and run the project:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Vikrantsingh22/Crypto-Backend---Price-Conversion-.git

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory. Refer to the .env.sample file for required environment variables.

4. Ensure the MONGO_URI contains the database named "coinList" if the database uri have the db name coinList then collections coinlists and logs will be in the coinList database. If not, it will automatically create two database coinList and test, collection coinlists will be stored in coinList DB and logs in "test" DB. example: bash mongodb+srv://username:<password>@clusterabjdsk.mongodb.net/coinList?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster0

5. After creating .env, run the script:

   node app.js
