IMDB Database Back-end API in Express ⚡️

Project Briefing

This is the back-end API I've written to support the IMDB-database app I created in Nuxt JS. You can find the front-end app which is written using Vue and Nuxt JS here - https://github.com/Apfirebolt/imdb-clone-frontend-nuxt.

Back-end has user authentication model and supports saving movies as playlist with different categories.

Built With

• Express
• MongoDB
• Mongoose

Project setup

Simply install node modules for backend. Make sure you have MongoDB installed and running on your system, you can also have it running inside a Docker container. Of course, you'd need you have Node and NPM environment configured on your system.

npm install
npm start

Database Architecture

• MongoDB is used as database which works pretty smoothly with Javascript and other Javascript frameworks.
• Mongoose ORM is used to define document schemas and perform complex queries.
• It has 4 models namely 'User', 'Movie', 'Playlist' and 'Category'.

Future Requirements

• Might add feature for users to be able to review a movie and share saved movies with other users.

Updates

• Any future updates to the API would be documented here.
