JobListing---FullStack

This is a backend for a joblisting platform I am working on.

Used Node.js and express for backend and used mongoDB as Database.

This is hosted on render. Link

About jobListing platform

• This will be a platform which will caters the needs of both developers and recruiters.
• Recruiters need to register themselves before posting any new job. They can login and post new jobs, also they can edit or delete the jobs posted by them.
• Developers can view jobs, search jobs based on position and also filter jobs based on skills.
• All the jobs will be shown with job position, salary, remote or office, fulltime/part-time and location. Clicking on job card will redirect to detailed job description.

Topics I touched while building it:

• Password Hashing: Used bcrypt for hashing password.
• Authentication: checking weather recruiter's email already exists or not, and matching passwords.
• Authorization: Used JWT tokens for authorization, so registered recruiters can only post jobs.
• Querying Database: Simple query for searching with job title and nested query for filtering jobs on basis of skills.
• Enviornment variables: To hide sensitive data in source code.
• Error Handling: Handled errors on different stages and sending appropriate responses with 400 as status code.

How to run it locally

• Clone this repo to your machine.
• Install node packages using npm i.
• Set enviornment variables - MONGOOSE_URI and TOKEN_KEY for jwt signing and verification.
• run using npm start.

API Documentation

Will write API documentation later on so it can be tested out on tools like POSTMAN.
