PostMan (Task-manager-api)

This project is a fully developed Task Manager app. The app uses Node js (express js) for the backend. Frontend code is fully written by plain JavaScrpt (ES6+). No jQuery was used. All server calls was handeled by JavaScript fetch API.

The app uses MongoDb for storing the data, it's hosted on MongoDB Atlas.

The app is hosted at : https://hassanin-task-manager.herokuapp.com

The app accepts and sends JSON, the appliction user JWT (Json Web Tokens) bearer for authorization.

There is still room for improvement like:

1. improving Pagination.
2. Allow user to upload avatar while creating the account (right now, you add the avatar after creating the profile).
3. Allow filtering tasks by their completion state.

some of the setup end points are:

1. POST /users ---> request body: {name: (required), email: (required), password: (required), age: (optional)} response body: { user: { id, name, email, password, age }, token }

2. POST /users/login ---> request body: {email: (required), password: (required)} response body: { user: { id, name, email, password, age }, token }

3. POST /users/logout ---> request body: {) requires authorization using takon Bearer response body: {}

4. PATCH /users/me ---> request body: {name: (optional), email: (optional), password: (optional), age: (optional)} requires authorization using takon Bearer response body: { id, name, email, password, age }
