This is my first MERN stack api with complete REST api. You can view the project live at mgamboa-to-do.herokuapp.com. I was mainly focusing on the backend functionality, so the frontend will not be very polished.
A very simple to-do app.
- You can create a new user by clicking "Register" on the navbar and filling out & submitting the form. This will create a new user in MongoDB Atlas.
- No password is directly saved in the DB - passwords are only stored after being hashed by bcrypt.
- Upon signing in a Json Webtoken (JWT) is signed and sent to the client's browser where it is stored in the local storage.
- Once logged in users can perform simple CRUD operations on their to-do items, which is verified through the JWT. The UI should be pretty intuitive.
- The web app connects to the DB using the Mongoose ODM.
- Deployed with Heroku. The
heroku-postbuildscript builds the client side after installing the client dependencies. The build is then served with Express.
