Friday Blog App

Friday is a backend project for blog application which uses NodeJS, Express and MongoDB. All extended CRUD capabilities are implemented, mailing and SMS events as well as text search queries and aggregation queries.

Capabilities

  • A user is able to register, get a JWT Token, create account, modify user information, specify preferences for contact, indicate interested in topics, and delete the account. The user can reset the password by receiving email.
  • A user is able to post a blog, modify the blog content, and add hashtags to blog.
  • A user is able to receive recommended blogs for his/her interests.
  • A user is able to post a comment, modify the content of a comment, send like to blog and can take back like sent on the blog. If a user liked a blog before, the application warns the user and does now allow the user to move on. Likewise; if a user did not liked a blog before, the user is not able to revert like.
  • A user is able to create reading lists with a name that holds other users' blogs.
  • When a blog is deleted, the application deletes comments posted on this blog as well. In addition, the deleted blog is removed from the playlists of each user if exists.
  • When a user account is deleted, the application clears and removes all necessary information that deleted user is related to. Consequently; comments, blogs and reading lists are removed related to this user.
