0x04. Files manager Back-end JavaScript ES6 NoSQL MongoDB Redis NodeJS ExpressJS Kue By: Guillaume, CTO at Holberton School Weight: 1
This project is a summary of this back-end trimester: authentication, NodeJS, MongoDB, Redis, pagination, and background processing.
The objective is to build a simple platform to upload and view files:
- User authentication via a token
- List all files
- Upload a new file
- Change permission of a file
- View a file
- Generate thumbnails for images
You will be guided step by step for building it, but you have some freedoms of implementation, split into more files, etc… (utils folder will be your friend)
Of course, this kind of service already exists in real life - it’s a learning purpose to assemble each piece and build a full product.
Enjoy!
